He was showing as a show/go car not a budget build by any means. I would not use the body kit personally as for the crate motor you can rebuild one or find one at a junkyard that will have enough go for the little car. As for the chrome accessories and brackets I personally believe chrome does not make a car faster, and more then likely the same thing in a black power coat would do just as well. The T5 and rear end again junk yard finds that are rebuilt and you have a budget rice slayer.
I agree that the price of this build was reasonable but its not low-buck. Anyone at Speed live in the real economy? Great build, but I'm willing to bet Stacey could outdo this if challenged to build something using absolutely nothing new except paint, brakes and tires (like many of us real world scroungers) I completely restored my '65 stang from basket case to show winner for under $10K What can be built with scrap yard engines, elbow grease and creativity can out-"wow" many $50K builds
@pacohouston Well it's not starter car cheap, but it's cheaper than anything of that performance level made right now. And all the kits he used and the new parts, plus the crate engine, mean that you can do this a lot cheaper yourself if you give it the initiative. For example, build your own 302, a T5 from a junkyard Mustang, rebuild a junkyard 9" rearend, adapt disc brakes from a parts store for a newer model car, etc. There is plenty more, but do it yourself and you can afford it!

Thanks for the episode. They are always great.
Hope we get to see the final product and most of all, a test drive with a burnout. :)
