My quick and easy Google search is showing most American cars today cost $1,500 in labor to build.

If your build your car at shop rate $85.00 per labor hour that is just over 17 hours or 2 work days for work.

So we can either run this exercise on the reality that you lost because there is no way one man can build an entire car in 2 shifts of work.

Or we subtract the labor out of that 25,000 starting price and now your new target is 23,500.00 to build the ultimate handling Mopar from a bare 40 plus year old shell and fill it with space age materials....making it stop, handle, run at the track better than that 25K Mustang Track Pack car we can all hit the buy it now button on at Ebay......
