Has anyone been watching the "hot rod" program on discovery channel? It is formatted much the same as "American Chopper" to show the tensions, etc of restoring or building a classic. If I read it right, they worked on a 55 C@$#@ for 2 months with a staff of 8 guys not including the front office. Some of the guys were working extra hours, etc to get this rod built. It was not a restore in that they were going with a custom frame wheels, brakes, etc. Add up the man hours for this and a very conservative estimate will be around 1800 hours. That is just the labor. That car must have came out in the $200K range after buying the engine, etc.
Best Wishes
