In addition to the parts above it takes approximately 8 weeks labor to fabricate and install everything per car. 40 hours per week x 8 weeks = 320 hours. The average race shop bills out at $140/ hour, which puts the labor bill at $45,000. All in, the cost to build these cars ranges from $60-65k. This doesn’t include maintenance parts and labor.
