If I started a new stock class car

[Cost of body: 500.00

Since you mentioned Cal Tracs and a Moser 12 bolt, I have to assume that you are looking at either a Camaro or Nova . Around here $500.00 won`t be close enough to buy even the roughest Nova 2 door or Camaro you could imagine. If you want a V8 GM car, I would have to think that a 78-83 Malibu or a mid-late 70`s Firebird or LeMans would be the cheapest to build. For a Ford , a 5.0 Mustang or for a MoPar, a Aspen Volare are likely the most "affordable", but can still eat up a lot of cash depending on how fast or nice you want it. Buying a car already done makes the most sense, and don`t worry, even a "finished" Stocker can eat up time and $$$ plenty fast!
