I can see how it does get out of hand, especially with the bigger hp. I'm leaning towards new merc 496's, keep it all stock. I doubt I'd be buying any kind of exhaust hardware like that. I'd like to take the apache up to you and Leon to get a better handle on what I can expect to pay for parts on the rigging. Can you guys do a new wiring harness? Sorry for the hijack VV

All I can say I have a $10,000.00 deposit just for labor to get started. When that runs out they will call me. So anyone that guessed less than that are out unless of course they give me money back. :evilb:

Question?
 
It's assumed that they are doing all the mech rigging, but are they doing the electronics, intercom etc as well?
