How many man-hours from experienced people go into a top show winner do
you figure?

For the last 30 years os so, the only trouble light I have used is a rubber
coated 120V bulb. When they break, they don't shatter. This new light is
inside a plastic cover, so when it breaks it may not splatter as far. All
my old drop lights have had a gyroscope in them that move the light away
from where you need it just after you start to work. I'm hoping this new
model has no gyro.
Hours in a top show winner depend on where you start and where you end.
Making a nice daily driver from a solid car is going to be totally different
than trying to make a show car out of a rat infested rust bucket with a
blown engine. I've seen cars at some of the AACA shows where the owners say
more than 1000 hours went into it, but I'm not sure what the average would
be.
I know everything they do on the fantasy car shows is done in about thirty
minutes by guys that never get dirty. If my light does not work out, I'll
send it to them.
