Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

Alterkation Price Breakdown as I see it: (estimated) Handling Kit $3995 (website)

K frame - bare $1588.10 - subtracted parts $ to obtain
front roll bar - $300 - subtracted race kit from handling kit
Upper control arms - $299 - website price
Lower control arms - $ 299 - Can't find price so used same as uppers
Coil overs set up - $400 - Summit racing - used same cost as my rear 4 link set up
Mustang II spindles - $161.95/each -- summit racing - (2) needed
Fab work to the spindles - $200 - est $100 per side (2 hrs of fab work per side $50/hr)
Rack & Pinion set up - $450 - Summit racing (price varies but I used a flaming river unit since bill is a distributor of them I figure he may use them
Rack to steering column connector - $75 - strictly a guess
Misc hardware and bushings - $60 - strictly a guess

So the as per my breakdown as I see it:
Alterkation bare frame $1,588 (by my math)
Cap bare frame - $1350 - mancini website
Mangnuforce - $1300 (roughly) - magnumforce website had to do some math

Is it still roughly 2.5 - 3 times the same price as units for fords or chevys - YES -- But all things considered all of the company's are charging are the same and its apparently what the market will bare.

FYI -- regarding mopars not having the volume numbers:

70 production numbers
Camaro - 249,802
Mustang - 198,239
Duster - 217,192 ( 173,638 sold in usa )
Dart - 150,876
71 Demon -79,959

based on the production numbers its really tough to say that mopars do not have the numbers there to justify a lower price. Especially when you consider that the front end is the same from 67-76 where as the Camaro's and Mustangs changed there front ends ever couple years.... I think the big factor is that mopars got CRUSHED more so than the chevy's and ford's so there are actually less out there being restored. since there are fewer being restored the cost to do so is more.

So I really think that everyone's biggest issue with the Alterkation kit is the one time up front cost. $4K with no brakes is tough all at once and that is the only way it is currently offered. I personally am struggling with the cost myself even though that is the route I may end up going. If RMS ever offered a bare K-frame and then a list of part numbers to buy the rest of the parts I think we would see more of them out there since they could be bought over time as money warranted.

Lets face it us car guys are not the best at saving, we spend it on new parts as we get since, since most of our lives will demand it elsewhere if it sits around too long.
