Since that time I have determined that I couldn't use the seats I had bought, so my son will be using them on a project of his and I can deduct the cost ($209.88) from the previous total. That brings the previous figure down to $2013.70. The lumber I used in the seat construction and body reinforcement was leftover stuff from jobs around the house and Ron punched all 104 louvers as a gift to me free of charge...:D
Adjusted previous total: 2013.70
Misc. nuts, bolts, rivets, etc: 88.11
Steel & aluminum: 161.62
Fiberglass mat: 12.06
Resin: 20.00
Body filler: 9.68
Fuel pump: 44.88
Paint: 373.01
Windshield frame & stanchions: 403.90

Total: $3126.96
I'm getting close to the $4,000 mark that I was shooting for; maybe I won't go over it too far... Maybe $4500?:o
