If you want to keep costs down, stop building project cars for SEMA and other events, avoid idiotic projects like the "revival" so-called Bandit Trans Ams (they gifted the first to Burt Reynolds, who sold it almost immediately), and maybe move out of the mostly-empty 500,000-square-foot facility you leased from Sony. That building was never even close to full, but damned if they didn't have an enormous shop to build various idiotic cars.
Oh, that's right... the last part already happened, but not by choice. :p
Classic's are. They arrive with a YearOne part number and warehouse tag on them.
