Quote: Here's some anal details of the 2014 Riddler Award Winner.
Makes a $1700 OE exhaust hanger seem like something you could buy at Walmart.
So who's crazy now? Or crazier?
I know a couple shops building cars to compete at that level. Comparing them to the OE stock crowd is apples to oranges.
One shop told me they have about 2 full work weeks ( 8 hour days )at $65 an hour
in JUST the exhuast clamps
The guys building to win that particualar award go full tilt from the 1st pre-limernary sketches to the end with that ONE goal in mind....WIN
Having that 100% OE factory correct resto is not my cup of tea. However, I respect those who are into that aspect of our hobby. Having been in HS when these cars were new I can tell you the quality back then was no where near what some of the restos look like today. Orange peel, overspray, misfitting doors etc. were pretty much commonplace back then and they were new cars off the showroom floor.
