Oh sure,you may lose some of the cheap guy's QUOTE]
And here is the real problem. Most people feel that people should work for next to nothing. A while back a member posted a link to a header builder. There was all kinds of comments about how pricey the guys stuff is. Does not seem to matter that he is one of the best header builders around, just that he charges so much. Did not seem to matter that his headers are not a one size fits all, that they are calculated for YOUR motor. Nobody mentioned the step design with the merge collector, all things that add power. The only thing they seen was how much $$$ they are. In the words of another member, and this is not a direct quote but very close.....Mopar guys tend to be a bunch of cheap bastards. My buddy had a fab shop. They had 2 labor rates. One for prep/mechanical work, going over a vehicle to make sure it was ready for a Baja race, the other was fab work, which was double the prep work rate. Maybe you should figure out what part of your job takes the most woman hours to do, perhaps the more physically challenging, the one that takes the expertise, and come up with a rate for that, then a reduced rate for the other end of your duties.
