Re: [MarcosManiacs] Restoration or a driver?

Awh, come on Don! That's not what I was asking or you were way, way over my head!
I'm asking if these renovators are being honest with me with regard to the prices being much more if I were to purchase "pieces" of a Marcos GT to put back together again! The renovators themselves seem to be very negative with regard to that approach.
They are telling me that if I can find/acquire a Marcos GT disassembled I'm going to end up paying much more than dishing out a mere $12,000.00 to $15,000.00 for an already assembled on ready to go after they or someone like them have finished with it. Is my question unreasonable????
The prices are for an unfinished or incomplete Marcos GT is phenomenally "low" compared to one already constructed and ready to go; you know? But from what Len and Hayes have advised and informed me of, the end result (once I found a qualified "put-her-back-to-gether-again" guru I would end up paying more than one already put back together again!
I've seen this figure from both Len and Hayes if not others which equals to 600 or more "man hours". Them are lots of hours at whatever dollar per hour figure we wish to use.
Come on guys, give an ol' man a break here. Give me your honest opinions.
With Best Regards,
