The Cheapest Possible Collective A-Body Build

I decided to create this thread based off a suggestion from @Murray. After seeing all of those "budget" builds in Hot Rod, Car Craft, and all over the internet I decided that these are not REAL budget builds. All of those guys have enough money to buy name brand parts and new tires. What we're talking about here is $100 engines, free transmissions, $15 dollar gauges, and using lug nuts to mount a starter.

Treat this thread as a dump for all of the mickey-mouse super dirtball fixes, tech tips, modifications, build-ups, rebuilds, etc.

Making stuff work and using your head and not your wallet is something that has gotten lost over the years as any dick, joe, or harry can buy conversion this and swap kit that.

(The only rule is make sure that any seat, seat belt, or restraint system modification is safe.)
