Jim,

Just to clarify, the factory quotes build time hours for the ES without
bodywork, as that can vary tremendously between builders.  Some might
spend 1,000 hours, and others might spend over 3,000 depending on the
finish quality they want.  



"Those cost figures are pretty close to the mark as far as parts go,
perhaps a bit low.  There seem to be lots of little things that don't
have little prices!  There's no way an ES can be built in 1000 hours,
however, the company's promo stuff notwithstanding.  Just, flat, no way.
 Also, panel costs can go up to almost any number, depending on the
number of goodies installed.
