The word crap would be a bit harsh. That setup didn't look too bad based on the pics he had posted. That's a challenging build though. If he was considered top notch though...well...hopefully yours will make him happy.

Guy definitely has a ridiculous amount of cash though...whew.

You have plenty of storage, but no bandwidth (think of it as "number of views") left. Try hosting them somewhere like imgur.com that doesn't cap bandwidth.

Work looks insane!!! That is really baller. I can't believe how nice your pie cuts came out. I would never have the patience to do that!

(I saw the pics earlier, so no, they're not working yet).

large gas lens w/#10 cup, traveling about 3/4 of an inch at a time, with cool down time in between, very time consuming

It's the least I could do; that exhaust is incredible. I'd have quit in disgust about halfway through all those damn pie cuts.

Id confidently have to say anywhere from 1500 to 2000 hrs, granted this was two people, breaking away every once and a while to work on other projects and try to keep customers happy, some of us know how hard that is, lol

by no means, but this is a labor of love for my partner and I and for most of us, for how much "custom" work went into this setup it doesn't sound like that many hours, if that makes any sense, lol, btw, the customer still has a bit to do before I get pics of it installed on the car, but I will definitely post pics when I get them

Do you mean 200 hours? 2000 hours is about as many hours as a typical worker gets in a full year period working 40 hours a week. If you guys split that labor, it would be half a years labor a piece! I sure as hell hope you didn't do that, and then didn't charge him for that kind of labor!

I would have to say that we don't work average weeks. We work around 110 to 120 hours a week.

look at the post above yours^^
