From the very beginning until now, including the connecting rod tomorrow and some details like the adjustment bolts aside the sled and some more fine tuning & adjustments, it might have taken nearly 50 working hours to build it.
One more skilled model mechanic than me with a better machine tool equipment than I have will make it possibly in less than 30 hours...
Oh my , that's quite a bit of time invested ...you made it look easy.

I consider the construction time of almost 50 hours to be a tight performance. Very good!

That really is quite nice.  Congrats on another fine build.

Now I only have to decide if I paint it or if I dye it to antique metal with gunmaker's acid...

Gunmaker's Acid would be my first choice. But there are very different opinions.

I'd probably have to stare at it for a few weeks and see what it tells me it wants done to it 😄

Well, a rough finished one will bring $290.90 - cost of kit $145.83 = $145.07 profit / 50 hours, means you would get just under $3 an hour to build one…

As I already said, on more skilled and better equipped mech than me will do it in less than 30 hrs....
So you'll earn $ 4.83 / h ... I bet some latin fruit pickers in CA get less...  ;D

The fun of building comes a little too short for me with these calculations.😉

when I build things for myself , time doesn't factor in to strongly for me , when I'm doing work for others...it does.

I thought it would have brought a little more. I would also gladly pay that had I remembered to watch the auctions end  ::)
