Jumping in to Stock Eliminator

Although it's not a Stock Eliminator car, you might find this interesting:

Recently, I quickly added up the invoices for suspension, steering, wheels, tires and brakes on my Nova street machine. I'm a Canadian, but all of the prices were in US dollars, without shipping or taxes. The total was north of $9250 and that doesn't include the rear end assembly. That's for a leaf spring car that is similar to a stocker. There's one caveat: I did use Detroit Speed upper and lower a-arms ($1400 or so), but if it was a stock eliminator car, I still would have had bushings, ball joints and mods to install the shocks to deal with.

What I'm getting at is you can end up with a lot of $$$ in what seems like a simple rebuild, if you decide to use good quality parts.

Just food for thought....
