with my car as follows is about 15k. chassis w/ front spindles, all steering linkage, steering box, butter fly wheel, parachute (2) mounts and handles, motor mount/plate, brake handle, m/c, pedal, N&P shifter, seat, shorty body, front wing, fuel tank, milter bros housing, strange axles, brake, third member, drive shaft and couplers.
i have new front wheels, picked up some used rears that are new but never used, purchased trans and am at 20-21k. need to get chutes, fire bottles, belts, and misc things so figure ill be about 24-25k into it rolling.. less electronics and motor/fuel system.
as was eluded too earlier, i could of saved and purchased a used car but i would not of fit as im 6'4" and shoulders are about 21" wide. i have seen a lot of cars out there with narrower (19") shoulder widths. if i would of purchased a car as roller, how much money would it of cost me to have it modified assuming the shoulder width was acceptable. further, the chassis im getting is built to 2.2C standards. in the end, the base money spent for the chassis as comparable roller price isnt that much more and it is built to ME and is new. i could of saved prob 1,500.00 by buying one chute, smaller axles, third member, etc... also, when i go to sell it, the car will have a higher resale value even though it doesn't matter what car you build, youll never get out of it what you have in it... thats just part of the game.
