The cars are too expensive.  Grant it, I have a project that is still on jackstands for years, but why spend that much money on a camaro when you can get a good running car, ls turbo, built for under 15k at most.  I could be dead wrong, but go after the niche marcket to build excitement.  No features, crank windows, a/c, v8 manual or automatic, etc for under 20-25k.
