What would you charge?

What would you charge to weld up an aluminum intake manifold? 4 cylinder car, runners are straight and about 6 inches long. Welding them to the flange then to a flat piece, then welding the flat piece to the plenium then welding the throttle body flange on. Haven't seen pics of it, but I want to see if I'm in the ballpark for the price I gave him. Will look similar to either of these.Torchmate 2x2 CNC with Flashcut CNC controlsHypertherm Powermax45 Esab ET220i Razorweld 195 MigRazorweld 200ac/dc TigTormach 770, Tormach xstechRazorweld, Vipercut/Vipermig, SSC Foot Pedal Dealer
