i spent 1900 for mine and i have 7000$ in it so far. havent even started the body work. just collecting parts to start. engine hasnt even seen a machine shop so this will give you an idea of what your in for. i bought a full drivers quarter. all rear sheet metal and a full pan.

if you are replacing the frame rails it will be easy to do this project but since im not and im replacing the quarter skins anyway this is my way "in".
