I know of a few guys who could put a car together for a little over that, but don't expect to have a Sema car. AND no matter what you do, just remember that on any level of car build that its going to go over budget no matter who you are or what you think
The biggest chunk of cash will come from him paying someone to do the work. That adds up in a hurry. Plus it appears he's budgeted $10K for the car, and if you can find one for that price it will likely need everything.

And like you said everyones view of a nice car is different.
