Sorry guys another one.....

I have owned and operated a woodworking shop, roofing business, and a general contractor business.

Even if he is charging $50 an hour he is saying it is going to take his professional shop 4 and a half days to do what me and a buddy can do in my two car garage in a long day. I still think it's too much.

Do it yourself and buy another project car with the money saved. :thumbup:

piece of mind goes a long way

Good point.

I have never lived or priced stuff in CA before. Maybe it is a little more expensive out there than I thought.
It might be fair there, but if you lived here you would be getting screwed.
