For $6k I would expect a REALLY nice one.

I've seen only one asking somewhere near $10k, thats asking. I paid $4k and
probably paid too much. There has got to be a much smaller market for a
conversion.. Of course if you are talking illegal, deceptive conversions
with all real Tiger parts (including the serial number) then you're talking
the same $ as a real Tiger (Mostly $10-15k now). But why just copy a 30 year
old design when you can use modern technology?

Couldn't agree more. You're talking a LOT of time.

Yup, still would put a rotary in there though! Time is money, don't forget...
