I have an excel sheet that tracked everything I’ve spent on the dart.
When I got the dart, it came with a TON of extra parts, many for different years. And come big ticket items like the 8.75 rear and a pumpkins.
I need to add my paint materials cost and some other small things,
I do need to double check these numbers, but believe it or not, I have right now, less than 5,000 out of pocket in the dart. That’s everything from suspension to sheet metal to trans and rear axle. Including the motor costs already mentioned.
Hell I still can’t believe that Glastek sold me one of the normally 700 dollar hoods for 100 bucks at the Indy swap in 2014. Just cause they had gotten tired of using it as their display piece at their shows.
Now this is dart ONLY parts and materials. And professional/third party labor fees.
Doesn’t include my time or welding consumables.
