Default Cost to Tub and Chassis

I was wondering what it would cost to strip, tub, and chassis a car to be a full drag car?

It depends on how far you want to go. The cheapest way is to buy one already done.

I was thinking that if I start from scratch, I could go in phases.

I priced out tubbing a car, narrowing my 9", and going to a 4 link and it was easily like $6000 when you add in the shocks and other stuff...
