What does it cost?

Great thread, Tony. You've got a great-looking Barracuda.
Your post reinforced the fact that I was fortunate with the start of my build. I bought an unfinished project on eBay 5 years ago that brought me a straight '69 Dart 2-door hardtop with a brand new 380HP 360 crate motor, freshly rebuilt 727 trans, B-body 489 8.75 Sure Grip rear end, and the front disc brake conversion already done. Inside the car when it was delivered was new carpeting, all the interior parts, a brand new 3" exhaust system, new in-the-box B&M floor shift, and new in-the-box Auto Meter guages as the previous owner had been planning on a Rocky Mountain dash. Not a bad package for just over $4000.
I've been accumulating parts for my build for the past 5 years and saving for paint. Still lots to do but it's all going to come together for well-under $15K when complete.
Moral of this story: find an unfinished project that the owner is tired of if you can.
