Tom, excellent list, but I gotta say you guys went all out and did a superb build using a lot of top shelf stuff. As much as the Ls1 and its "L" cousing engines are becoming the bread for newer hot rods, prices are starting to drop on parts, more combos are coming up and there are several areas where $ can be saved without cuting corners.
I admit I have an unfair advantage buying a complete runner, parting it out and recouping the investment quicker, but am still surprised why more people are not doing the same (or if they are, they just want to stay quiet about it, pshhhh
)
Yes, add labor cost to part the car and sell the stuff and things may balance out, however you have a full and complete running car to start with everything to pick from. That will save a lot of your time on the net or time figuring out missing stuff needed, or going to multiple drives to buy parts or to stores to buy misc stuff that is missing when you start with a complete donor form the get go, so basically am considering that a partial wash.
