If I started a new stock class car

I'm doing the research for now. Just trying to get a handle on what it will cost me to build a stocker. This is all just prelim off the top of my head stuff. I realise this is just the start. The intention is to build an IHRA crate motor car. With a slant towards possibly turning this car into an NHRA legal car in the future. Anyway, here's my initial breakdown, how far off am I?

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.
