Kindig Designs, Classic Car Studio etc - Car costs?
Discussion
After watching all these American Car build programmes you get on TV, they seem to spend an awful lot of time on some of the builds, bodywork, paint, new bits etc.
Anyone know what sort of price they cost the owners?
I’m guessing they must spend hundreds of thousands on some of the builds that are started from scratch? Certainly the kind of money you could buy a Ferrari etc for?
Anyone had something like that built ever?

I seem to recall a starting figure of $100,000 or thereabouts mentioned on the kindigit show a while back.
It's interesting that some of their builds get so far and are then put in storage until the owner can raise more funds.....1 was recently sold to a new owner mid job
Way more expensive than that.... minimum $250k for a full projectIt's interesting that some of their builds get so far and are then put in storage until the owner can raise more funds.....1 was recently sold to a new owner mid job

Bargain ....the figure I quoted must have been for partial builds or they've put their prices up because I definitely heard that figure mentioned on 1 of the shows but it could have been a few years agohttp://www.kindigit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02...
Wow! That’s a lot of money for a build. There’s a lot of nice cars you can buy for that sort of money.
But then when you see the amount of work that goes into each build, the amount of people working on each one and the fact that you end up with a unique build you can see why it costs.

The pricing is a little odd.
The Kindigit team finished a truck recently that Dave sold for about $80k, which I thought was rather cheap. It stuck in my kind as Kevin was saying Dave shouldn't have done the sales negotiation, being too low $.
You do see it over here though with people's project cars, 6 figures spent only to sell it for 5.The Kindigit team finished a truck recently that Dave sold for about $80k, which I thought was rather cheap.

I do find it funny that people here (in the Porsche UK world), argue over replica seats and crashworthiness, yet they build seats out of plywood hinged brackets. Ok, not as if the driving style is going to be the same
Not sure who has seen the copper caddy episode but the build cost for that was rumored to be $350k
I think it looks great but can understand why some will find it rather OTT, however the craftsmanship and skill in that episode was staggering

Most builds are 2000-3000 hours of labour min, plus parts costs on top of that.
