How many hours to build "Eagle" and how much do these cars cost???

Loving this build 💪🏻

Not many folks willing to get straight to the point on the time and cost involved in doing a project like these. Kudos!

1600 hrs in labor alone is massive. Really puts into perspective exactly how "specialty" these cars are.

Audio is much better gang, appreciate the effort for our viewing

Easy to see why Tye is such a rock star on the Cleetus channel, this shop is meticulous and creative.

Mega respect for just being upfront and saying how much it really costs. So many people beat around the bush,.

I knew this stuff would be expensive but about $500k all said and done is eye watering. Luckily we are able to live vicariously through ol Cleet. Millions of people will know this car inside and outside as if it were their own

Cleetus brought me here, and now im hooked.

I’m subbing for 1) Cleetus’ build and 2) because this guy shoots straight with no BS. Which is rare these days. No click bait, just honest and to the point. I have no idea how to fab or weld but I couldn’t watch videos like these all day!

Respect. Nothing to hide. Most people never talk about price.

I believe this is the only channel I’ve watched (now multiple) videos where they’re up front about labor and costs associated with these builds. Thanks for being transparent, it really is interesting and informative. 👍

So much respect for someone to come out and no nonsense talk facts and figures. No-one does this and you have earned and will keep me as a subscriber.

Props for giving a ballpark price and got to admit, I was expecting it to be more. Basically $500k for a totally custom car, build to the highest standards and out of the best materials, no wonder your garage is full of work! People spend way more than that on basically forecourt cars, which anyone can own. When I win the lottery, you’ll be getting a big box from the UK with Ford Capri body panels, to build me a carbon and titanium beauty 😊

Shops here in the SF Bay, CA charge $250-300/hr for mostly bondo and some sheet metal work. $140/hr for a top-down racing frame may seem insanely cheap, but I also don't see any race shops here in the bay working with much Aluminum, let alone 1600 hours building 4130 chromoly tubing/titanium race cars...without a doubt, hats off to CJRC.

That's got to be the first "what it costs" video I've watched that actually talked about what it cost! That was refreshing. Thank you for going over and sharing that! Damn you build some nice cars, wish I could work in your shop.

Brother, those are some of the cleanest welds I've ever seen. When you were zooming in at first in the intro I couldn't even tell it was welded until you got closer.

I appreciate the transparency I've always wondered but felt it taboo to ask as most everyone don't like to talk money. I have even more appreciation to the craft now , thanks.

Tye literally said it would take him a year on his own, great insight into how much work is involved

When I was in school for Collision repair and painting, I also took a "High Performance Fabrication" class. On the mechanics side of the school, they offered a "High Performance Engines" class. They didn't allow us to take the other class unless we did the whole year long mechanics course, which would double our time at the school, but what y'all do is exactly what I had in mind when I wanted to take both of them. I currently just paint cars, because I can't weld for shit XD. So I am in awe of teams like y'all that make these cars from scratch. INSANE work.

I mean the man just bought an airport, I think he can swing that price 😂. I've watched cleet since his first video proud of what he's accomplished for the motorsports community.
