Simply Michael Why not charge a fair hourly or day rate. Your heart surgeon does not get paid more when he or she has more experience. With that logic everything will be more expensive every year. Years of experience does not necessarily make you better at your trade. You should be better but not always.

For me that rate will depend the job. My experience, do I want the job? , the customer, how hard the job is ... do I need to walk up 8 flights of stairs with drywall or do you have a service elevator and other factors like how long have I known them and are they a referral. If I have known my customer since I started and they are fair. I’ll give them an awesome rate and job. If they are new they get awesome work and a fair rate based upon the factors listed above. Another factor is will they work with my schedule or is this a take the job now deal or I’ll find someone else. As you can see my equation for pricing is complicated. :/ most of the time I do amazing work for a decent or cheap price. I keep my overhead low and I don’t drive a fancy truck.

+Mazokki the difference is that a lot of these cars are naturally going to the dump anyway and those well preserved originals will go up in value. The real effect that the RWB kits are having on the original cars is that they are making the process happen faster. Which, honestly, I can't imagine is a bad thing if you're hanging on to one of these cars as an investment.

@Linken200

If any of you think a car gets more collectable or valuable from putting a over hyped "tuner kit" on it you've never seen a real car auction or really looked at what modified cars sell for compared to original ones. These will most likely be looked back on like we do now at a Koenig Ferrari or Mercedes from the 80's, but those were actually built properly. Still no one cares for them now compared to a original car

@pchwang

6 жыл бұрын

+Linken200 I think you're looking at this wrong, but you have a point. How RWB is viewed in the future all depends on what happens to RWB when Nakai-san chooses to retire. If the company persists and just hires someone else to continue the mods, yes, RWB becomes Liberty Walk. But as things stand, I imagine RWB air cooled Porsches will be our generation's Yenko Camaros, not glorified tuner kits anybody can do.

The canards on the car ads a certain brilliance

My brother and I went to the 2019 RWB build car show at the LeMay Car Museum in Tacoma, Washington, and I completely agree with everything that was said about Nakai. He's an incredibly skilled craftsman, and his skill along with his passion for the build shows in his work. Seeing how precise he is with his cutting in person is a sight to behold, and it really makes you appreciate the dedication he has to these cars.

Every car is a work of art, each one is individual and special. Nakai doesn't make to the customers request, he just does it and they love it. That's what I love about RWB.

I had the lucky pleasure of seeing him work on a car for ltmw. It's quiet when I saw Nakai working. Truly humbling watching him smoke and pound metal. I also helped prop the door into the car so I helped on the build. *hahahahaaaa*

I've been fortunate enough to have attended 3 builds (Seattle, WA area) and know both Christian and Akira Nakai. For the haters that go on and on about how these cars are ruined, they completely fail to see that these cars are really being reinvented to bring new life to many others who appreciate them. The build process is fascinating and the community is truly special. I'm really glad to see this video which does serve to demystify what this looks like...these cars and people deserve to be celebrated for being quite special...because they are.

stancing cars is a culture, what the stance culture should be is people who respect each others work and style. If people don't like someone else's car feel free to dislike it, but at least respect their build style and choices they made on their car, after all it is theirs. The worst thing in the stance community, in fact the car community in general, is the people who discredit others work, style, art and lifestyle.
