Well. I sat down the other day and done a few calculations and come up with 13 k . But I rebuilt every piece other than the body and interior. That's next after I replenish the bank a little. This price is including buying a truck for the body and the bluebird school that I used the motor out of.

At full lock the bolts that stop the nuckle against the axle housing has 1/4 in gap. I need to weld me a nut to them so it will touch
