I don't think it matters anymore if you're doing a total resto on any vehicle. Nothing is cheap and if it is, it sucks. I almost sold the Challenger mess when I started looking at the price of parts to restore it.

No kidding about that Ryan. That's why I stretch a build out over several years....

Truck is looking great Mike. Nice to see you have been driving it for a while with no major issues.

I hope to have my stepside on the road this spring. It is moving under its own power for the first time since I bought it. Just a few bugs to work out and some small stuff to finish off before I can take it to the alignment shop. Can't wait for the snow to go away.

Good to see you on here. It's cool you are on your way to having your stepside back on the road. 10-4 on the snow. We haven't had much but it's been too cold to do much of anything here.
