The real costs of a slick ride

Loaded question. A guy here in town did two cars. Very nice cars but the guy has money that you and i dont have. One he took to the Nats and won big. A 74 stroked out Duster which he spent $74000 on. The other went to SEMA which was a 69 RR or he called it a RTX with a 426 Hemi. He has north of $100000 in it. I said the guy has money. He never expects to get his money out of em. That's not the goal....Enjoyment for him gets it done. He hauls the stuff to a show car builder and writes the checks. This would be the top end but on your car, if you do alot of the work your self and make a good driver you can do it for $15000 or less.
IMO.
