if you plan it correctly you can actually do it somewhat cheaply..(?) whatever that means.. i bought my camaro about 8 years ago for 6800 and sold the motor out of it for 3000 so i was 3800 into the car, and it was pretty rust free so i didnt have to replace any panels and i was able to do the paint myself for about 2500 (just materials really).. i figure when its done it will cost me about 20K to build it with some pretty nice parts. I built the 4 link myself similar to the art airbar for about 700 in materials, and am using CPP's big brake kit, and bought a 9" ford off of craigslist that was already narrowed with custom axles and stuff like that, i just try to wheel and deal my way into what i need. Sometimes i buy parts i know i dont need so i can trade them for stuff i do need and save a bit of money.. find people who rebuild tranny's that trade for parts or beer.. that type of thing..
