What does it cost?

I'll chime in, If you're concerned about the cost and weather it's (the car) is worth what your spending, re-think doing it. We who have been at this for a while know that you have to enjoy the build, and the ride and place a priceless value on the things that have no price tags. if you are to ever "justify" what you are doing.
I haven't read the whole thread, as somehow the end is now coming at the beginning and the beginning at the end. I'll sort it out someday when I have the time.
Enjoy the journey! And plan to not overspend the budget, I've seen too many unfinished projects be sold for pennies on the dollar from the frustration of not being able to continue. Or for the finished project to have been so overwhelming. that it brings no happiness. and is sold just to get it out of site and out of mind.
