LOL. You are not that old doc. But, this sure is going to be an event. Can't wait for the numbers. Someone please grab me a piece of the oil pan off the ground for a souvenir.
You can get a wrecked Camaro for 2500-3000 and have most of the parts that you need. 8-10k for swap parts. 10-12k total investment. Just got one done. I know what they cost. But, its still cool to see them and you cant beat the performance.
