Jumping in to Stock Eliminator

What is your predicted timeline? I spent 3 years building my Mustang Stocker, then spent another 2 years testing/breaking/sorting out stuff and figuring out how to get it working half decently. A deal like Mr. Irvings could have you competitive next weekend. Yes, there certainly can be satisfaction in building your own car, but there are an awful lot of partially done, and sadly, likely to never be raced, race cars sitting in garages , covered in dust and cardboard boxes. I`m in my 60s, and if I ever get another Stocker, I will likely buy one already done. Its too easy to lose interest on long term project cars. (this is coming from a guy who is finally nearing completion of an 18 year street strip project car, so I do have some insight on this subject!)
