Re: Considering going Stocker Racing
Jack,
You get real. Your paint job does'nt look like a MAACO to me. I was'nt just talking about the paint either.
Paint,Wheels,Tires,Wiring,interior,Etc,Etc,Etc You will spend another 10K.
A cheap paint job will run you a minimum of 3-4 grand unless you do it yourself.
Wheels and tires are another $2,000. Then you will want to put new interior and chrome to highlight that nice paint job Oh it's jus gonna be a few hundred more dollars. Oh while we are at it lets go ahead and put new Tach and gauges in. Might as well rewire the car too. Almost forgot While we are rewiring lets do the Fuel and brake lines too. Now we have spent another couple grand also. Then we go to our first race. We run a couple tenths under and are tickled to death until we loose that Heads up run 2nd rd. Then we go and buy that trick carb,trick headers,Liteweight radials, trick tranny and convertor.
Jack get out the Calculator you been doing this a long time. That $15,000 stocker will cost you another $20,000 minimum, unless you are content with Shoepolish racing.
