Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
I figured I was overdue on my accounting, so I just added it up. I was at $1003, and have since bought bushings for the rear leafs and shackles and t-case, e-brake cables, new exhaust system, the frame pieces, a fender and tailgate, a gas tank and the chassis paint, which all together cost me $614. I sold the old jimmy dash and some side moulding for $60, scrapped the old body for $50 bringing the balance to $1507.
Is that good or bad? It'll have new brakes, exhaust, reconditioned frame, new bushings and mounts, gas tank, and a bunch of original rust free body parts. The downside is that it's not running, will need some significant body work, and more hours than I care to think about right now.
