Hi Guys

Here are the floor pans we’ve fabricated for the 39 Willys

So you started out with just the top half of the Willy’s?

Yes GTO
I start alot of my jobs with just a section of the car and the other half no were to be found. I dont find this to be a challenge to fab the rest of the car the tuff part is the time invested . The customer has to be aware of the investment before we even start.

Dont have a clue when we will be able to work on it yet .

I would tell him that my rate is $60 per hour plus materials. icon_cheesygrin.gif That reminds me of a Firebird owner who dropped his car off at my buddy’s shop. All he told him was find 800 horsepower and call him when it is ready, pretty much offering a blank check.

Yes Mike you hit the nail on the head we are a $60 an hour shop and it dose take some time to finish our end of the job.
We normaly only do the sheetmetal end of the job anymore. we have a few we see right up to paint but I like to stay away from the finish part of the job . Seems that end of the job gets loads of down time . There is more of a need for a sheet metal fab and shaping and that is were we like to specialize in.
