I finally got a decent day for some photos for the last article. Pete will make the decision on what is used but here are a couple SAMPLE IMAGES that I liked. I can't post more until the article comes out.
This will wrap up the series.... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I'm doing a running list of parts costs on mine. Its hard to be exact when you sell parts off the car, make running changes and modify existing parts vs buying new but at least it will be a ballpark idea that people can build on for their cars. Just the cost of shipping assorted parts is probably around 2K. I'm leaving the labor quotes to Scotty B.

Just the cost of shipping assorted parts is probably around 2K. I'm leaving the labor quotes to Scotty B. I had a folder and every time something arrived I tossed the receipt in a file and entered them on a spread sheet when the folder started to bulge. When I sold something I wrote it on a sheet and tossed it in the same folder as a credit. The necessity of this is when you want to insure the car and I cover this in the last article. I have discussed the car on numerous occasions with Jim Patrick and asked him what he charged a client to build a car like this (he has done several) and while I can't get the exact number I do get "over $100k". The time spent building custom parts is staggering and escalates the cost really fast if you have to pay someone do do it. For instance I spent almost a day to measure, acquire material and machine my steering wheel adapter so that the 930s wheel would fit and look right. Think what that would cost if you had to pay someone.....ouch! 911 ball bearing seat sliders is another....it just takes time and I am unwilling to pay someone and I enjoy doing it myself. Also, the big joy is to drive something that you built yourself...... |
