Have question

[Burner]

OK, going to give this a try and see what happens, I am interested in building a stock eliminator car and would like some advice on what to build. I currently race brackets with a 71 Pontiac Ventura that is modified beyond the point of stock class.
I do not want to purchase a turn key car, and I do not want to spend 50k to build one. I just want to ease into it and see if I like it.
I do have several cars that may be used if they are capable. Unmolested 1968 Camaro, Unmolested 1968 Z 28 Camaro, (no motor but everything else). 1966 mustang and a 68 mustang. I do not have the original engine parts to the cars and would have to chase them down.
My question is: do I build one of these cars which will take some time or do I find something altogether and go from there?
Not looking to break records just run the race and have some fun.
I know that there is a million answers but want some feedback from people that have been doing for some time.

Thanks
