As you can see it adds up fast & that's just all parts you still gotta install it all ...

think its a good deal?

 

That would depend on your toy budget, not for me .

 

building my truck has been a long drawn out ordeal you and to each their own some want to spend the money and of course there is other ways than just dumping the money into parts. You can out source stuff like head work to a local shop to build your current head and what not which saves money. I am just thinking most people build stuff like that over the years and don't think about the price because it is something they love doing.

My theory is if at some point you have to stop and ask yourself if it was worth the money and time then it wasn't for you and you need to find something else to do with your time and money that will make you happy.

 

If I had the coin, it would be worth it to me if it stayed together. My wife would kill me though, thats 3 times what I paid for the truck. Haha.

 

well worth it if ya got the money, but i think you could find some of the parts cheaper

 

some of the items on your list seem a lil high but most people do it over time, and if you are handy and mechanically inclined you can do it for much cheaper, it will still be expensive though. you could always do waaaay to much fuel and nitrous

 

just labor in paying someone to put all that on would be outrageous, this is why i work on my own truck

 

Ask yourself this: Do I really need to spend that amount of cash on my daily driver?? Only way it'll be worth it is if you were competition tractor pulling.
