The question here is not "can you do the job for under $25K". It is "How nice is is going to be"?
I think the real question is how nice do you need it to be. If you're a guy who gets anal about the trivial things like the correct color shade of annodized coatings on your hood latch, well then I'm thinking a shop like this is not for you. However if you want a clean, nice car that 99.9% of people would think is perfect, well then I could see 25k in labor covering it. Keeping in mind the total including parts and subbed out work would be much higher than that.
