    bought it for $4500 and all it needed was a paint job.

    paint job was $1500 (i did the body work myself)

    so ive put roughly around im guessing $1800 into it. ill say around $250 for small parts and of course the paint job.

    next thing is the 347 stroker i really want to build and sink into it. So after the $1800 already in it, ide say anywhere upwards of $4000 when im 100% done with it...
