Fabrication is $100/hr, all tig welding.

Standard labor is $65/hr, all human. :Goofy:

As for how long it would take, i'd have to see what were working with.

np, but your right, if people want blitz speed cheap welding theres tons of crappy little muffler shops around Houston that will be happy to take a persons money and let some chimp loose with a flux core mig on there car.

tigs the high end welding no doubt, but its also worth every penny when paired with a talented welder, which is a combo we've definately got. :thumb:

yea true, i paid some random muffler shop to re-weld my broken midpipe, not even a month later it broke again. after i took off the midpipe myself i realized they only tacked the midpipe because they were to lazy to take off the heat shielding that covers it :gonk:
