47-55.1 Long Time Coming......

[e015475]

Here is the job for my truck, I call Area51 with all time stamps so far. Now I obviously am not charging myself, but if I were paying someone to build this truck this is what it would co$t.

So you have almost 1000 hours in it? Any predictions on what the hours will be at completion?

I didn't keep any records, but I sat down a while ago and went through my build thread and estimated what I had in hard costs in my truck (then put the spreadsheet somewhere where my wife can't find it)

I did sub out some of the paint work and all the upholstery, so there was some paid labor in there.

I concluded that I'd be lucky to get the cash I'd spent back if I sold it and I'd basically donate my labor. I figure I have about 1500-2000 hours in it, but I'm not near as far down the paint/fab learning curve as you are. But I enjoyed every minute of it and it kept me out of the bars at night.

Nice work - and I do very much appreciate you documenting the nitty-gritty details
