umm.. guys,  after looking at the total for my car, I'm well over 16  
large so far.  That includes purchase price, Rivergate tranny kit with  
rebuilt tranny, complete new interior, Judson Supercharger rebuilt,  
misc original parts to replace the repro/jury rigged bits that were in  
there.  I have done NO engine work and NO suspension work (although  
that is coming).  I can easily see where someone could spend  $ 30  
large if they don't do any work.  Yes Frank, I do everything but  
paint..  ;-)
