Look at the parts listed below: ??? POST>>How much is it going to cost for just the labor turn Key??? Taken out the old and putting in the new :eek: I want you guy's to take an edcuated guess on how much the labor will end up costing on the project, all I can say is it is $95.00 per hr. :grinser010:

To make it fair I'm staying out. When I get the final bill I will post the winner. Good Luck hope you win!
One guess and make it a good'en :rolleyes:

3 Rules:
1. If you go over the total your guess doesn't count!
2. If for some reason there is a tie the earler post will win.
3. Once your $$$ guess is posted you can not edit it.

26K but that is just a WAG:drink:

niceguy 08-17-2008 08:40 AM

I have no idea, so I am gonna say $ 17,500...assuming nothing has to be custom fabricated and everything just bolts in place using existing mounts and such.

Fountain38SC 08-17-2008 08:53 AM

I say it will cost you a hell of a lot more than it should and you will regret this undertaking for more than 1 day.

Thong Fellow 08-17-2008 06:22 PM

I'm in i say $24,500
