I never kept track of what I spent, but buying a daytona was the best thing I did because I sold the "daytona" stuff that I took off to recoup a lot of the cost for mods.

The guy who had the hood sold his truck before installing it and had it just sitting in his garage in primer for a while. He wanted around $350 but I talked him down to $275, cash talks. Then my cousin runs a paint shop so the paint was free.

Lol, I sure did :D. I couldn't really remember how much I paid but I think it was around $100. It has been so long since I got it, that was one of my first parts I bought.

You see a guy that scrawny you feel sorry for him and give him a break. I would hope he'd use the savings to buy some protein supplements so he could bulk up a little.

Never added everything up. People ask me all the time. So, if I had to put a number out there...I'd say 20-22k. Hope to be adding to that over the winter!

Truck was $19K, only thing I've added so far is the wheels($1000) and tires($900). So, just under $2k. Was about to drop $1k for 4.56's but that money got designated else where. Oh well, just start saving up again.
