That's the whole issue with building a car today. These manufacturers have priced it out of reach for a lot of people. I remember the days when you could buy a Duster, Dart etc out of someone's yard for a couple of hundred dollars go to the junk yard and buy a 440, 340 or whatever for 50-75 bucks and maybe spend 1500 on the engine and have a hot rod. I've talked to numerous people that say they've priced it out of range for them to afford it. It's amazing how a few years can change everything.

I hear you around here we don't call them hundreds anymore we call them big tens. Due to the fact that I don't use any money from my day job for my car hobby I have to run a shop on the side and flip cars to make the race car thing happen. I priced a drum of 110 a while back and it was over 700 for a 55. I'd switch to E85 or e98 but it is corrosive and after seeing what has done to some of my friends fuel systems I'm skeptical. In some aspects you guys sure had it good back in the day. My uncle came home pretty messed up from the Vietnam War so that always sticks in my mind when I think about the grass being greener on the other side.

It just comes down to being creative and not shying away from hard work to get it done these days.

It took me 2 years to save up for the bellhousing and the trick clutch. Then it took me two more years to save up for the S60 new wheels and tires and a roll bar kit. My non-gearhead friends think I am insane LOL. They all like to go to places like Hawaii and Belize on vacation every year but I don't do any of that gold chainer ****.
