Even if you have the body already it's going to cost plenty to get it ready. After reducing the weight, cleaning out sealer, stretching the wheel well, rolling the lips, I'll soon be ready for primer and paint. Having the body already helps but I'm figuring about $40K+ (including body) to get it on the track. To run competitive times? I don't think it will be possible in the upper classes were the new cars are.
