Hotchkis 76 Dart Build

Steve,
While your $75.00 in materials could be correct if we used the finest components China has to offer, we don't, so you can easily double that. On top of that you should probably add your overhead:
Sales Staff
R&D (Certified engineers)
R&D (Drivers and Fabricators)
Production staff (Certified Welders)
Assembly Staff (Nut and Bolt Guys)
Powdercoat
Packaging
Shipping Department
Customer Service
Building and Utilities

Some on this site and Moparts have gotten some Hotchkis control arms that were "blems" (poor powder coating, installed never used,etc) and gotten them at JUST the cost of building the arms, i.e. production. Trust me when I say there is a huge difference between buying from a company like Hotchkis and buying something from a guy building things out of his garage. How is Dillinger Customer Service these days? When was the last time ANY of the other manufacturers hosted an autocross for ANYONE, regardless of product manufacturer to come out and join us?
At my shop we've done everything from factory rebuilds, RMS, Hotchkis, Firmfeel, QA1 and the like. They all have their place in the market, but I'll only put Hotchkis on my cars and my wife's cars, which are daily driven and raced at least once a month. I've had numerous customers that had me install products from other companies, one drive in one of our cars, and they instantly regret going with someone else. Its the best kit that keeps the integrity and heritage of the car without compromise to quality components and manufacturing all while keeping the spirit of the car. I'm sorry it's not for you, but when was the last time you drove a car with Hotchkis components on it?
