Pro Touring 10K

So far the budget is still a go. Heres some things I'm doing to keep that budget. Saving money by not using headers pre fabbed or built by me. Using 273 exhaust manifolds and having them extrude honed. savings about 300 bucks. Building my own transmission. I have a friend that owns a transmission shop here in Indy.savings about 350-400. Using left over paint from the shop. I have a ton of overstock. the color I'm thinking now Arizona sun set. 875 a gallon. total with clear and activators. 2000. researching having the rear springs built to some specs I picked up from the team star fish site. 200. cutting and building my own rear end. savings 1000. sold the stuff I'm not using off the car brought in about 500. so I'm still in great shape.
