sorry i just read a few posts about the price spent on making a vehicle. i always assumed that i hadnt spent as much as other but if anyone wants to share what they have spent over the years. it would be interesting to see what caliber of investment you have put into what most call a "hobby".

personally we spent 8000 the first year and we are about 25 000 last year. thats cars, trailers, equipment, expenses, fees,building materials, foam, wood, etc. I know that some of you spend way more per year, for many years now. anyone care to add to this list. I'd certainly like to know. TX

Okay well as far as Team Perfect Tones goes.......... The Isuzu I mark from 2002 never figured out a dollar figure but lets put it like this..... 4 15"s, 26 D2's,8 Tsunami 1000's, 8 RE 35.1's.
2003 with the multi 54 bags of concrete, 32 Visonik V900's, 8 RE 35.1's, 8 Fusion FJL1211D's, 13 Visonik V4000XD's, god only knows how many Treo CSX 18's, 4 Team RF 15's, 4 Inhuman 18's, 2 VFL 18's, and i will just wrap that up with the equipment and come up with a dollar figure for the rest later. ball park around $25,000 just on materials and no traveling expenses with an 11,000 pound car.

That is all....
