I don't know what parts you are referring to. I bought the complete, running, rolling chassis for less than the cost of a crate small block. It included the drivetrain, four wheel disc brakes, heated seats, a/c, nonrusty floor, carpet, wiring, and on & on.
If I just build a driver, I think I could have LESS in this than my 48 GMC Panel. The Panel is your typical hotrod build: stock frame, TCI front clip, wrecking yard seats, donor 396 & 700r4.
PLUS, other than going to the next level, is this concept any different than using an S-10?
