Bill,

I can't imagine the prices for a set of heads and intake for that combo! If you even mention Boss the prices probably double.


As for building a stocker,
The only thing I have farmed out is the engine. If you do your own paint and body work, electrical and suspension that will drastically reduce the price. It won't get done as fast, but you can take pride in your craftsmanship. There are good books to read about painting, body work, and fabrication. Don't let anyone tell you, that you cannot do something yourself. Labor is free, if you have the desire and will to do it. I learned that I would starve to death if I painted cars for a living. But I was not about to pay someone to do it for me.
