I've read another forum's $3000 build thread and thought to myself that it would be near impossible to do, unless a person were to take a worthy pick up cab and drop it on a running S-10 chassis. I noticed in another thread here that others may not believe that it's possible either.
I'm building a little Model A based project and almost have $1000 into it without building the motor or buying a body. I've paid for each part excluding the motor, which was given to me. My goal from the start has been to keep it under $4000 and lately I think I'm being unrealistic.
Not to rain on their parade, but is it possible to really build a car for under $3k these days without inheriting a pile of parts (not that it's bad--free parts are good parts.)? Have any of you done it within the last 5 years? Gimme some hope!
Just looking for something to talk about.
