Default just dropped 5 grand at the Z

Dropped the car, engine, and trans off at team z. Heres what im getting done, the cage is already done but here we go. I got talked into some more things then i thought i was going to buy.

Starting from the front. Motor plates installed with the motor lowered and set back, cut motor mounts on k member.
Manual brake kit with new lines plumbed.
Halo bars, new door bars, dash bar. x bar on roof with lever for chute
Rocker bars in the floor connects the front and back bars along the rocker, almost like a new subframe.(talked into because i will need them when i got 25.3)
Window net.
Two kirkey seats since my old seats would not mount to the new floor. (talked into).
Fuel cell and nitrous bottle mounts.
Cross member made for powerglide.
Custom headers, BIG BOYS 2 1/2" start stepped to 2 3/4 stepped to 2 7/8 with a 5 inch collector. possible fender exit not sure yet thats an extra 500.
Tubular rear bumper with chute mount and cord.
New coil over springs.
fiberglass dash.

Enough money gone that its making me quezzy

That's a lotta money! But then again, looks like you getting some quality work done too.

But yeah, always a slightly uneasy feeling after dropping so much money in one spot. lol

So 5.0kid, I thought you where going to school and putting off on the LX for a couple years. How are you going to get school done? Did they give you a grant or something like? Either way congrats on getting that LX set up. Can't wait to see pics and or videos of the completion.
