> [@Just Karter](#): > > on the roof. > > With all the shops around here. He can have this up and running a week, dont count him out yett. i don’t think jim wants to spend the money it would cost to have a shop build the kind of kit that i’m building for him. the only reason i’m building this is because over the past few years, jim is one of the few that has always given me a helping hand when i needed it, so i owe it to him. not to mention, _some_ of the shops i wouldn’t use. others that qualify fit into that, “dont have money to give them” category. and a good quality build takes more than a week. take into account my 50hr+ weeks + on the road 2-3+ nights a week, plus my car is just a rolling chassis etc etc etc… i’m willing to help as much as i possibly can on this, but on the same token, jim’s going to want to drive his car as soon as the good weather hits. that _probably_ wouldn’t happen if the car comes apart right now for this. so i think we’ll play it day by day for now FYI, “kits” or “builds” of the same “caliber” of mine in the LS1 world done at reputable shops usually equate to $5-10k+ in labor alone. Of course, Jim’s setup won’t require quite as much fab as mine due to the fact the many of the components are smaller in physical size, but still… A lot of work goes into it, and these people are running businesses. Time is money, and people don’t work for free ---
