A vo-tech school will strip and paint the car for free labor plus cost of paint.
I have the $99 Caddy motor in my garage and it will get a $1,000 overhaul.
I found a rebuild shop that sells a TH200-4R capable of handling 700 HP for $940 (and I get a 1 year warranty with it).
I have the $550 wheels picked out
Tires will run another $500
C4 Vette suspension will cost $650 if I hold out for HD 13” brakes and Z51 pkg.
Labor for install of suspension will be less than $1,000
This is a $5000 car project minus interior work. It has good door panels, but needs seats, carpet, a headliner and belts, so we are talking 6 grand, not 100 grand.
Even if it takes 50% more money, I still finish it for 10 grand.
