Today's cost to build a stocker ?

Part of the fun is finding a combo that hasn't been worked to death over the years. I built mine doing everything myself but the engine machine work for just under 5K, including the $100 I paid for the car. As originally built, it ran 1.1 under (1.4 under the old indexes 6 years ago). I've spent about 2.5K on it since, got it down a little more under the index.
Now I feel sorry for it and now that I know it works, I'll spend a little on making it look better.
As I've said before on this site, it may not be as exciting as my 8 second S/P car was but it is more fun and it will go rounds if the driver is up to par.
