Cost of body: 500.00
Roll cage 150.00
Cal trac bars 339.00
Calvert rear shocks 178.00
Calvert frt shocks 98.00
Moser 12 bolt 1830.00
Split Mono leaf 298.00
Rear end gear 280.00
Wilwood frt brakes 600.00
Alum body mounts 43.00
Moroso frt sprgs 118.00
Fuel Cell 120.00
Elec Fuel Pump 133.00
This much so far = 4687.00

Now still need to factor in a complete front end rebuild with urethane bushings, good ball joints. Whatever the steel 2 x 3 costs to tie the subframes or spend $100-130 to buy commercial subframe connectors. Just guessing miscellaneous costs, we're at $5000.00 real easy and that's before I have any drivetrain, LOL! Still alot of pieces, wheels and tires, tach and gauges, shifter, safety belts, nuts, bolts, oxy/acet gas, welding wire, you name it. This just to start to build a stocker.

...by the time you are ready...you will be 16K~20K poorer and if you do not have one, add the cost of a tow vehicle, trailer and spares.
