total parts and labor = 940.00

Then there's babysitting it for the first 10 hours of playing it, making sure it all works.
Then there's shipping it, and any applicable sales tax. So add another 100 bucks.
So we're looking at around $1040.00 for an amp that I'm not building for myself.
That's if you use the "Weber kit". They probably have all the parts in bulk as well as the expertise to do it quickly.
