a lot of people consider most of these basics for any of these cars, even for a daily driver. the locker? never welded up the spider gears? the seats? a $160 summit seat will work just as well for most things. the upper control arms you can find used on here for a couple hundred $$. the trans and motor can be done cheaper too. it not that hard to build a car that would be competitive with the Hotchkis one. looking forward to seeing your build. what's the motor?
