Budget Updated
So I updated my budget this morning. Someone may say big deal but for me it is. I bought a new Dakota Digital gauge cluster ($800), new head lights ($98) and head light buckets ($98), 10 misc grommets ($10) and a Holley throttle adapter plate ($40). This broke me over the $20K threshold and I have not even ordered stage 2 yet.
At least there are some things that I will be "getting money back on" when I order stage 2. Like getting a credit for not ordering the gauges or the head lights. That at least makes SWMBO a little bit happier.
So once I order stage 2 I am going to be around $30K and that does not include paint or wheels and tires. Looks like I am going to be hitting my total expected budget of $40 to $45K. I told SWMBO to expect around $45K by the time we were through with everything.

I keep a google sheet up to date whenever I buy something. I'm at $17,037.92 without stage 2 or transmission.
But I have cut out $830 from stage 2 from deletions already. I'm still hoping for $33k finished in gelcoat. That damn $1500 shipping charge kills me, but it's too far to get myself any cheaper!
