Easy eh, so far all of the times you have said are wrong.

They are all gong to get there money's worth when that show is on the air, too. It is going to be the best show of the year.

the white stang had a motor with donated head porting from ET, Used lunati rods out of a 24hr rolex motor,Nx kit from donated by NX ,Local Trans guy did the th400 and brake setup,Coan converter club paid for that and the rear end parts,Mahle donated Pistons,the rest of the parts on the car headers,wiring,wheels,tired were donations. I chipped in for the driveshaft,engien softparts and some odds and ends. Club members at MI speed built the cage and fixed and patched the floor and body where needed. Star customs painted the car and also made some strutural enhancements. The bulk of the build was done at my shop some at memebers homes and the paint and body at star.
Very budget builds.

Diamond got us some BAD *** custom pistons. Detroit Speeed Shops got us any big ticket items that we needed to buy at cost too.

Interesting. Thank you for the answers, but I also was wondering what the true cost of the cars were, if you had to buy everything assuming reasonable prices. I'm just curious, I'm guessing $10K or so.

Is the Stang 5 lug? Stang sounds like it's in the $7500-10000 range since I recall it had Draglites and a cowl hood too? We were very impressed with that car, never saw the MISpeed guys lift the hood on it. Had you guys pilled up you would have beat the other car.
