I wouldn't plan on finishing an FFR for $25k.
Some number off the top of my head:
complete FFR kit $20k
engine (sb) $8k
Trans $2k
Tires/wheels $2k
paint $8k (Street Rod Painter in Yuba City, best deal)
That's a $40k project + taxes and registration.
I'll be in my ERA $55k by the time I'm done and registered. Hopefully, I'll still be married.
I saw a used FFR for sale in Mountain View for $25k. Can't remember where I saw it. It had a paxton supercharger on it. Seemed like a good deal, though I think it needed to be painted.
This isn't a very cheap hobby, is it?
