Are those numbers you quoted accurate? That's just south of 5k, right?
Ouch.


As accurate as can be with the given labor estimate. Parts is a known
1.2 AMUs. They tend to estimate high on the labor so that there's not
an overrun. So...on the low side of the estimate (parts plus labor),
we're looking at 4.7 AMUs. High side of the estimate is 6.1 AMUs. Yes,
ouch. :-/ Dividing by three helps but is still going to take a chunk
out of the flying funds.
