I'm trying to understand this without raising the BS flag.

It's BS that they charge more for a fully welded fuselage, instead of raw tubing or a tack welded fuselage?  Maybe I'm missing your point.  A fully welded fuselage involves more labor.  Why is charging more unreasonable?

Most complete and flying Cubs I've seen start around $40K.  I suspect "lotsa j3 and j4 cubs" for half of that is a tad exaggerated.  Once in a while a person can find a bargain, but I don't think "lotsa" applies.
