Automotive labor rates and Re & Re rate software?

[HzEmall]

Anyone know of a site or good software that is easy to use? Would prefer something that goes back into the 70's or so.

I got a trial for one but it was hard to use and I couldn't export the info into Excel or anything. I couldn't even save it.

I was looking at the Chilton disc, but it only goes to 81.

Thanks

The Real Time labor guide goes back to 68. easy to work through, and I find it to be a little more accurate than Alldata and such.

If you are doing custome stuff it is hard to use the the labor guides that are out there today. I will have to look I had some where that a restoration company came up with a program for older cars. I made a speed sheet in Excel and it works great. If one of the programs tells you 3 hr to change a fender, it means a fender that was new in that yoer and not messed up or rusted. So I go with what I know it will take and let them know it could be more or less. It's just an estimate. It's the same thing as in todays collision repaire shops. They get 2.5 hrs to take something off and put it on, but that time is for a new undamaged part not smashed up peace.
