Well-known member
I am going to do what no man should do ... Keep track of the cost on this thing
Rear Axle Subtotal: $2,167.64
Remaining Components Subtotal: $5,521.00
its go time boys. i know a bunch of you have built some cars so i will ask for help along the way!
1975 dodge colt
2010 duratec 3.0l with a cheap 3586 or 3076 turbo ~450HP
jaguar 6hp26 6 speed trans again
9" rear with 4:10 and an ARB
maybe 26x10 R15 tires
i got most of the large dead parts chopped off now
plans are to build light but likely will weight a touch more than the factory car weight of around 2,100 to 2,200 lbs curb weight
would like to do the minimal cage to be 10.99 legal. plus it is a rust bucket now
i had chatbot make me a bumper sticker
