A shop could install a checkered front clip for less than $4000.00
Not around here boss.

I did a quick add up on the checkered racing stuff. The initial cost seems to be around 2,500 hundred for the basic kit + sway bar and inner fenders and shipping. I figure that would be the minimum someone would buy.
I dont think this kit included the fender supports that go on the fire wall. But i still think there are some hidden costs on it, so add in a new master cylinder(because hes probably got the single resevoir one now) and brake booster + prop valve. Also around here if you were to have a shop install it your looking at around 90 dollars an hour labor. Then you still have to get it alligned, so I still stand behind my estimate. This kit seems like a good deal if you were to install it your self; which i still think is atleast 3,300+. I'm not saying mustang II clips are a bad deal, im just trying to help 270win and others make an discision that works for them.

When you build one you let me know. I don't have anywhere near $3300.00 in mine. I even went with CA inner fenders. Master cylinders should be upgraded anyway so that should not even factor into it. Autozone has MC for disc/ drum or disc/disc for under $100.00 so where is the rest of the $$$$
As I said,,,,,When you build one let me know.:rolleyes:
I stand behind my figures, I did the math for what it would cost me personally to do it. The master cylinder upgrade is a given, but that is also a cost that must be changed for the upgrade so I WILL include it. Things may be different than you for various reasons geographics, parts on hand etc etc. For instance im all out of grease in my grease gun so I gota go buy some thats an added cost to the project. I would also probably have to go buy some new fasteners because i might as well put fresh strong stuff on, thats another handful of dollars. I also dont feel to comfortable sawzalling my stock 63 steering shaft, so a replacement column is in order for me and I didnt even include those #'s. I would also have to call a tow truck or borrow a truck and trailer to get the alignment. Seriously add up your expenses and let me know.
