I hear ya loud and clear, and again part of why I started my shop. To keep costs down we became reps for Engine/transmission, and other components. I can make a 10% mark up on components and still save people over direct costs.

V-8's 352, 374 with the works, I have $1500 in the machining, Boring, honing, decking block/ Heads, re-bushing rods, Hardened seats, valve job, (porting optional), cam and crank ground with original Packard blanks. New pistons, internals etc. assembled broke in on stand out the door $3995. I have a 374 just going up on the stand and will be posting the assembly on my blog. I have a 48 and a 53 straight 8 I will be doing soon, and I will be able to lock in my pricing on them.

Paint is the highest cost, A 55-56 Patrician aprox $4k just in materials 10k painted cleared sanded out the door.

Chrome- ie. 1956's
56 Front Upper $525
56 Front Lower $475
56 Front Guards, Each $150

56 Front Lower (Clipper) $475
