CMC help in the Bay Area, CA

nice avg is around $250 at most shops. All in all, it does not take a ton of time. We did my first one quick at my brother's shop prob took 20-30 min.

 

Stellar is becoming overpriced as well now from what I've been hearing and was quoted for some of the work I asked them about. Twice the price of most other shops (even Schaffers). Their prices were definitely reasonable couple years ago when they started their biz but now they KNOW people will pay a premium to get work done by them.

CaliFab is also an option and they are friends of Dmitry but their prices are not insane.

 

haven't had any califab but met the owner and a bunch of friends has all their work done. A bit far from bay area but solid work.

 

@chengitis is asking about a cab mount RELOCATION not chop. The relocation is going to be more costly since there's more cutting and welding involved than a CMC.

 

ah thanks @plurpimpin, totally missed that part 680 makes more sense. The relocation is pretty involved. A TON of grinding and prep work. I'd say if you got it around that it's expected. When I had mine done by Tim at Heavy Metal, I was there a good portion of the day.

I brought my own and was the first one he did so prob took longer (this was before he create his own which that day was part of the research).

Stellar makes their own so if they ad more cost its because of its a one-stop price.

 

I got my gears and lockers done at Shaffer’s last year and the price was reasonable compared to what everyone else is paying.

 

If you read my comment I am talking about cab relocation. Go look znofabrication in Auburn up and see how much they charge for the 2nd gen. I got a really good quote for the work.

 

dude ive seen quotes for $700 in the south bay for CMC's so that aint bad. never done it but I know how to. Plus I love using angle grinders

 

he is currently really busy. I contacted him a month or two ago and he just got back 2 weeks ago? or so. But he was helpful. I would hold off until he finishes what hes doing (something with his home I think? cant remember).

 

He just shot me a text 2 weeks ago. He's doing shop upgrade and etc. CMC price was $350 for plate and paint if anyone was curious

 

thats not bad.

But a CMC is so easy.

@exiquioloza TBH if you have an angle grinder, safety glasses, a mask, and gloves, you can do it. Only part is the welding. Although, that isnt even necessary. As for the cutting of the CM, its so simple and would take anyone about 5-10 minutes per side. Set up included.

 

Time to buy a cheap welder! I don't have any experience but its a cool skill to have! especially getting into this hobby...

 

Just seen this, i have a buddy in my OL group thats a welder, i can link you up with him if you still need one done

 

I agree. If you can do even an okay job, you can do some cool shit. hahaha
shock relocations, armor, bumpers and all that jazz.

 

I'm not in a rush so maybe I'll wait for Milo to be back online.

I agree CMC is easy since I can use my angle grinder. Cutting stuff up is fun but CMR is a whole another story which I have doubts attempting myself.

 

CMR? cab mount ??

 

...relocate.

 

cab mount relocate or some people might say body mount relocate

 

I'm learning here lol.

 

and why would that need to be done? Lol i have never heard of that
