About $2500..., and another $4000 for engine and drive train to go, plus $1000 on suspension upgrades.

Not including the stereo, around $8k. Need a 12 bolt next, which should put me over $10k.

I am at $27,000 roughly and the motor isn't even here yet. This is just for the build I'm doing now. This dosent count the 383 long block, the 427 long block, 4 camshafts, 3 set of heads, and misc. other parts. I could deffinatlly be well over the 35k mark with that stuff no problem.

I haven't started yet because I'm still in the planning process. But it's going to be interesting to see what my Heads, Cam, Lysholm project costs when I'm done.

Hopefully around $6000
