I started with a roller that was rust free but had sat for at least 10 years. I am in about 20k not including the engine and trans that I inherited. The car still needs paint...
That dollar amount includes a few mistakes and quite a few hot rod bits that werent necessary but I got bitten by the bug. One huge thing is that the cost of parts has increased dramatically in the last couple years. The oil cooler bracket was $100 when I bought it in 2016 and its now close to $150. Buy now or be priced out forever as they say
