how to save money building your car

You can see in my "James' 1970 Dodge Dart build" thread, where I tried to get everything perfect, buy the best of the best....Well, that didn't work out so well...I went broke quick, and my stuff sat and sat for years in various places...It's a real motivational killer. Now I'm changing the build, throwing it back together, and gonna go racing. It doesn't have to be perfect anymore. I'd like to hear my now 10 year old, brand new 408 stroker fire up. LOL. Damn son, it's been a long time. I will wait no more.
