I visualize 40k in building a 32 coupe. Am I far off in outer space?
I think you're short on the cost estimate. My Oze base roller was $21,500, but just adding a radiator, Wilwood brakes, a stainless steel gas tank, a brake line kit (big mistake) and a steering column, plus $1350 for delivery drove the price closer to $30K. I spent $10,500 on my LS3 connect and cruise package. The my rear end gears, with a helical gear posi unit was about $1500. Tires and wheels were $3,000. I had $43K into the car on the day I started to build it. As I get near to painting, I've got close to $60K spent, but that does include a pair of upholstered racing seats. Upholstery for a car with no upholstery panels can get real expensive.

There are many things that only cost $50-200 each, but add up to thousands, before you know it. I was shocked when I added up my credit card charges, for the first year of building. I spent a lot at Summit Racing.
