Sorry, I can't justify the extra $2K for "high end bolt on parts" when I can fab them myself. And they look and work as good or better.
Of course, Time IS Money, and I do have a good bit of hours in this build.
To each his own...
Just out of curiousity, what kind of power are you planning to make (w/adder)?
I've put 750-800 FWHP to my car so far. The only problem I've had so far is the front wanting to twist a little. I'm fabbing a front plate that should cure that.

A good friend of mine is a pretty good welder. He's done many frames and tubbing jobs around the area... I'm considering just having him fab up a motor plate and 'throw' it in that way...
like i stated earlier. mostly drag some street use... so the heater and everything else will be gutted
