NICE. i'm not sure i can pull off 75 an hour though. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

i charge 50 to 60 (depends on what im doin)... cash only...
was 70 when i had a "real" shop... now i work out of a barn on my property... and just do the jobs i really wanna do... not my full-time gig anymore.

oh, BTW, that's for metal fabrication... charge differently for paint, motor swaps, etc... that's like a case-by-case pricing kinda deal. and if it's for a chick, then the price is generally better...

Ricky, I'm sure you know that would depend on what you're doing. Full on fabrication work is not cheap. I know you're a Mexican but try not to sell yourself short. I'm not joking, you do good work and even in your garage you should be getting 40-50+

Price comes with a good reputation. My boss has been in the business for 20 years. We get $45 an hour. From what I have seen, most of the country is 35+

Most of the shops i know of are 65-85 per/hr.
