LOL, don't sound so excited...

 

I think I'm around $4,500 so far without any labor. Damn that makes me feel sad but at least my car looks great....

 

Beginners...lol

 

more like poor folk ahahha! This is just my DD, here is the real money pit for all you who wanna know

 

This thread got me thinking..... Now I realize I am in over $10k on parts and labor and have only made the first payment. OUCH!

 

lol...you got 30k in an engine lying around im sure

 

fast dew i gotta see your electric front license plate in action! post a vid. Does it cost $2000. HEHE JKJK

 

The one (engine) in the car right now was $20,000...

That's one expensive 3V - I know! Hell, I sold my Dan Saitz 400" 2600 hp small block for $15,000!

 

Yea I try to block all that I've spent out of my mind. Over 15k, and thats not including the whipple, and clutch that's going on this spring.

 

About receipts adding up - yeah, they do. And they add up a whole lot faster now than they used to. With only two mods and a FSM I'm into it closer to $2k than I'm likely to tell my wife (paying cash does have its advantages, guys).


Proportionately my GT will never hit the mark where my '79 Malibu sits right now, though. About 12 to 15 years ago, the last round of mods on that car plus a little body work and paint ran right around double the full original price, and that's with me doing every bit of the labor except for machine shop work on the short block and driveshaft.
