She's in and outta my shop many times a day - and I think she knows more about "Good Work Is not Cheap-and Cheap Work is Not Good".Excluding my man hours in build time,mock-up,and Fabrication then parts ,plating,final fitment,and Building the engine and Primary/Transmission - then paint and Powder coating,It's about in the 25K range . Worth 5 times that in Pride and Quality of the build itself .You wont see another like it on the street - and YES it's my daily ride .

I'm interested in more examples of what your shop is building for your customers. Surely you have some photos of your pride and quality?
