Again costs will depend on the level of detail and the options you choose for your car. Convertible tops are labor intensive to install, as are wipers, heaters, and some of the IRS optional pieces. I would think that the cost of parts, plus the cost of the kit, and another 100-200 hours worth of labor. Exactly what that labor charge per hour is, is what you should be asking the builder unless he gives you a set price for his time, his shop soft costs (heat, electric, insurance, employees, etc), and his profit. If I could get my FFR's built the way I want them, using my sourced parts and kit for 3-4K worth of extra labor costs, I'd most likely do it every time I built or restored one. But to be honest with you, as someone who works teaching body shop owners how to streamline their offices and make their businesses more profitable and efficient, I do not see where you could get someone to properly build one of these cars for just 3-4K over the cost of your parts and kit.
