Wow, How many of you have paid what a shop wanted to do work on your cars?

Nate, what did I charge you to do your headers? Shit I damn near did Alphonso's for free compared to what a shop would charge...

Plus hes obviously looking for someone to help him learn how to degree a cam not just dump it on a shop, pay for it, and get no knowledge out of it..

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

wht he said, 850 is a damn good price to tear down the top half 7 front of a motor, install parts, and put it back together. All you have to do is drop it off and drive it home, good deal!
 
I had my CJ7 at Joe's Right-Way for 3 and a half months to swap out an rear axle shaft, hub...

you just did the headers on mine though. and you gave me a great price and did a good job (no complaints at all) but he's talking about quite a bit more than just a header install. i would definetly say 850 for all of that is definetly a reasonable price. you should do it then derrick, make a little money and you'd be able to teach him a thing or 2.

Nate paid more than I told him when I put the springs in his car. But I agree have the shop do it if they are reputable that is a pretty fair price for doing the work.

It is coming along well. I hope to have it done by end of Feb beginning of March. Yeah I will definately do the new springs when you are ready. Especially now that I have a shop to do them in. They will be done much quicker on a hoist!!!:gr_grin:

I'm not trying to be a dick, pointing out that its alil hypicritical for people to say yeah go take it to the shop when they never take there own stuff in.


I already have offered to help him pending how fast I get the things done I have going on right now.

H,C,I on a 302 based fox body is a few hours worth of work if all goes right. I did a head swap with headers, intake, carb(w/ new fuel pump,reg and lines) on my red car in 6 hours.

On other peoples stuff I perfer to take my time so I don't over look the lilttle things(like your backing plate which still bugs me today)... Even so I did 86 coupe's convertor change in about three hours.. 302, C4 long tube headers.. out, new convertor in, filter, and tailhousing change, and installed in like three hours.. Btw I cheated on that one I didnt take the heades off.. :gr_grin:
