Today's cost to build a stocker ?

In the process RIGHT NOW. Upper level car (loophole to boot) D/E/F had the body but doing ground up resto. 2 engines ( one a dyno mule) complete one of one combo. I will be about 30k done at .5 under...should see track mid year (I hope). All good parts and a top shelf engine builder doing a mid level build. And believe it or not the most expensive part....PAINT!

I agree tenfold on the cost of body and paint. You guys have got it made at $10,000 for body and paint. You would have a coronary if you saw the prices here in Saskatchewan. Environment was not necessarily the biggest drive here. It was the money printing machine our gov't insurance provided the body shops here. Doug
