Finally Tired of Antics on Graveyard Cars

That really doesn't make sense. How the job is charged, doesn't change how long it takes. Are you suggesting that they are giving the labor away by charging by the job? The employees are paid by the hour and unless they take shortcuts, aren't going to be more efficient and get more quarter panels done in a week if they charge the customer by the panel instead of by the hour. I guarantee they are making sure that they cover all the potential hourly wage and consumables costs plus some, by baking it into a generic job charge. So it actually costs the customer more in the end if they are in fact doing it that way.

Well then, I guess they need to learn how to do it themselves.
I'm sure most guy's on the forum like me learned how to do most things in life at an early age do to lack of funds.
If I didn't I would have been on foot and my house plumbing would be leaking like a sieve.
I grabbed the bull by the horns and rebuilt my first motor at 14 and painted my first car at 16.

I rebuilt my first engine when I was 15. I wish that I had learned how to weld. It's cheaper if you can do it yourself. Most of those guys on those shows have plenty of money as Most of the builds cost 250k
