For one I think it is a cool car!

This would be great to have especially once completed. It is unfair to compair it to a roller though as it really is a frame, body and uprights. The cost to make it a true roller would be $$ as it needs spindles, brakes, coilovers, non-prop A-arms, diffy, shafts, wiring, plumbing and many assorted costly extras. Hope who buys it gets it drivable.

Painted KMS, awsome, I know I would love to have it.

I think the pin stripes look good. The meatballs are stickers as far as i can tell and they aren't going anywhere without taking paint with them. I don't like them either, but i am going to leave the exterior of the car as is.
I will leave it up to potential buyers to do the research. However, I really don't think there will be any potential buyers.
Im sure David or Thomas will get back to me soon and then i will know what type of price tag i am looking at for the remaining parts. I'm hoping that the spindle and hub assemblies are functional and not rejects, but i will not know until i can get the car on my lift and remove the wheels.
Im still happy with the car even if it does end up costing as much as the regular price. Ill probably sell the standard bore 428 i have and drop the extra cash on a shelby aluminum block. If i ever need to sell it in the future, i am sure the extra money in the 427 will be worth it. The 462fe stroker kit that i have will work with the 427 block, so why not.
