I also bought mine this weekend from Kyle at "Good Guys at Del Mar". I had seen the car at both the SEMA and the Grand National Roadster Show. I spoke with Troy and he told me that the build cost was $250,000. Quite frankly, my first reaction was that it was kind of high. I figure that either his shop rate had gone up with the new found notoriety or that they were taking advantage of the guy from Hollywood. After I read thought the whole book from cover to cover, I have gotten a new appreciation for the amount of work that went into the car. My new thoughts are now that "I can’t believe that they built it for only $250,000....."
They are coming out with a series of these book.
http://buildbookusa.com, I think it's a great niche.
By the way, I have picture for both show, mostly street rods, Scott, if you like, I will e-mail you the pics so that you can post them.
