Hmmm, I don't think I would mind doing that job for people for $500 a
pop.  Lessee, $100 worth of parts (max), and a whole day to spend on it
at $50 an hour?  Maybe the $500 includes air fare?  Maybe I'm missing
something.

Several rank amateurs did this at Chris Miller's house, none took over
twelve hours as I recall.  The only reason I even say twelve is so many
other varying jobs were done on those cars at the time.  Of course I
could see a dealer charging that money, their labor rates tend to be
high, parts costs, etc...
