After reading all these posts on cost of building a car from scratch, it's amazing how some of the cars in the classified section that run fairly well and for under 15 grand, that folks are not snapping these cars up. There are some real bargains out there !

Barry I'm not as bitter as I was back in 08, guess I'm getting old and the end is near. Everything I drive is BLUE OVAL except for MAMA'S car and the racecar. FORD got my vote for the new stuff, just show some respect.

We elected not to build a new car mainly due to the fact that people will kill these cars with hp. Then you will have to change motor combinations every year and then you still might not be in the top 10 fastest of new cars. We do pretty much all of the work ourselves, other than building trans and some motors. I like the new cars, but I just can't see competing with extremely large pocket books. It is very gratifying to build a car from scratch, but if you can't do the majority of the work yourself, I would highly recommend buying a car thats proven.

I would have to agree with others here...best bet is to buy a sorted out vehicle. Plenty of them out there at bargain prices relatively speaking...you can't build one remotely similar for the money. Let someone else take the hit. Only things I can think of atm that are a worst investment are horses and boats haha!

Maybe it is time to bring back the real jr stock back to save our sport
