Default how much is tis worth????

i am sorry for such a vague question..... here goes this mechanic owes me money so he has done some work for me. i have a 65 289 coupe. i bought new headers and exhaust, but he installed it. he replaced master cylinder gasket and he bought a new radiator and electric fan and installed it for me. now he has bought a 600cfm carb a voodoo cam and a new timing chain and will install it too....so

he came out of pocket for.....master cylinder gasket, new 3 row aluminum radiator, new electric fan, new 600 cfm carb, i think he said voodoo cam, a new timing chain

he also has installed all of this for me plus he installed my headers and exhaust.

so my question is what is all this worth in terms of dollars. any and all suggestions are welcome

If he paid full retail for the parts, he probably spent close to $1000 +/- depending on brands. As for the install, if this was being done in my shop it would be somewhere around 10-12 hours flatrate labor at $85 an hour so all total somewhere around $1800-$2000.

I wish I could say the same. I'm still taking checks to my mechanic about the "little details" that the inspector missed. Hoping to have my car out of the shop before Christmas.
