I dont keep up with hours well, but my personal 36 pickup I likely have 500 hours in but it required extensive bodywork and such, this one I only had to paint about 30% of it so that saved a lot. I likely have 250-280 hours into this one as this was more of a quickie restoration but still looks as nice underneath as topside.. I do all my rebuilding, steering gears engines trans rearends distributors, etc as well as my own sandblasting and painting....

Moneywise is where is gets scary... just purchase price or the truck and price of parts this truck wound up around $34-36k I thought I had around $38k in my personal one but thinking on it more I likely have $46-48k in mine.
