Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

Well, I guess the cost is reliant on how many pre-fabbed parts you buy and how much work you do yourself. Don will be the first to tell you his 3K project far exceeded the original plan. I'm sure the guy who bought it paid way more than 3K also, but, having seen it in person, I can honestly say it was one of the nicest T-buckets I've ever seen...

As for my own projects, I've always been too poor to buy a lot of high-zoot crap, so I had to learn to make it myself. I build or fabricate virtually everything I can including frame & suspension, and do all my own welding. I also do all my own bodywork and paint, wiring, and upholstery. My son and I built his sedan (below) for under $4,000. Since the pic he has added a tunnel ram and different front wheels. I built my coupe (bottom) for about $7800 using parts from 32 different vehicles. Now I am working on a '23 T track roadster; about $3000 in it so far. Here's a link to the build thread:
Another build thread? Yep, my track-style T
