This mornin I only saw about 150-175 from the hotels to the strip. Some left last nite for Springfield, some left this morning others went to the Grove this mornin for the fun runs. And the rest went home. I talked to some today at one of the motels, the one farmrod I saw, checked it out, $6500 in the motor $1300 for 4L60E $1200 in the 9in. and $6000 on a set of rims n tires. Now get this part $1300 for a flat black paint job. The guy built it for show more than to drive

Lanechange,
Let's see, I bought a can of flat black primer for my car this weekend that cost $4.95. Guess it took 262 rattle cans to paint that car! I sure could have saved him some money.

The guy paid someone to put his truck together, I don't think he put more than an hour of time on the truck(at the counter of DMV) the gallon of paint was over $100 alone then the flattener,the clear,reducer.hardener and supplies plus someone to prep and paint it(I've seen 1/4 panels painted for about the same)

All types!
