What Kit and why

[ng8264723]

Rodknock,
You don't need most of the options. Don't get the bling and you can have a nicely optioned kit for mid $50,'s. I did with a brushed finish and the polished stripes. For instance why buy the wool carpet? I used to be a carpet installer nylon wears better. Why have the foam installed do it yourself save 500. The dash is 300 for a leather covering. Give me a break go buy a piece of leather for 20 and use contact cement to glue it on. Do you need a ss steering linkage save 125 and get mild steel and paint it. Do you need there rear? $5,000? A jag unit $300 and 600 to rebuild if it needs everything save 4,000. Put a toploader in the car look around 6-700. You don't need a tremec. Don't use the billet resevoirs save $100 or so. Things to buy the better breaks and shocks driveshaft and 1/2 shafts. Do you need a SS roll bar? No save what $400. There is no need to spend that much on a Kirkham. I will spend under $60 for the complete car minus the engine tranny and rear. You can run a 390 until you can afford a 27 and save a **** load there as well. A nicely optioned ERA is pretty expensive I ran through there website and came up with $40,000. That's not painted. What's a paint job worth? $5,000? So then were at $$45,000. That's $10,000 or so less than my Kirkham.
