I emailed Dave its a 10 year waiting list and start at $250,000 US for the build

When you look at the hours those guys put into cars I have no doubt their prices get up and beyond that. Allot of the cars on the TV show are year or more projects. I have no idea what their shop rate is but at 100 bucks an hour, thats 800 a day, 4000 a week, 208000 a year. That is one man labor. I sure like some of the guys they have in that shop, some quality mechanics, I would love to have them do some work for me.

I wonder how much deposit they require before starting? I gotta a lottomax ticket burning a hole in my pocket, im sure its a winner!

not sure if you watch Fantom Works but they usually show the day counter during the build and yes some of them go well over 300 days. I believe they charge U$75/hr so it can add up plus parts. Watched it the other day where parts alone were $92,000.
