Alright, I have been working on the Ford 8N for a lady in town as a "make some money" project. Here is what I have come up with:
After a complete paint job, brand new tires/tubes, brakes, lots of small things (gauges, steering wheel, etc) the final bill is going to be somewhere in the $3500- to MAYBE $4000, but that would be a stretch.
Does that sound about right to you?? And ya, ya I know "you could buy a nice 8n for that price", BUT her dad bought this brand new, and she wants THIS tractor looking brand new, which I can't blame her!!
Out of that, I was working by the hour (which my hourly bill is INCLUDED in the above price) how much would you guess that I am making?
