Wrecks To Riches

Recommended Posts

I thought this was a fun build.  I like the paint but think I'd personally swap the wheels out.  The one thing I'm trying to wrap my head around is the math.  They said they spent 40k on the car and parts (seems low) and 310 hours on the build.  It sold for 56.5k.  Now if you were paying straight rates at shop that is at least 20k in man hours probably closer to 25k.  Even if you own the business and pay 1/2 that, it doesn't seem like a lot of profit.  But most the time was volunteer time I think.  Not that I'm knocking them building the car I just always have a laugh at the prices and profits they show on reality shows.

Yeah those reality show prices are a total load of bull shit.

first off they price the parts themselves to low, then they say oh it took 1-2 hours to do it NOT......

Im not saying their guys aren't top notch but nothing hardly ever fits right the 1st time
