UPDATE: 26 JUN 2018
BL: Reilly Motorsports does not want to build crossmembers
This is a very custom car and the crossmembers will only get you so far. For those that want to know more...
Although they were happy with the way the car drove and looked it boils down to price and sales. The math just doesn't add up.
Some big swoopy arrow beer math for all to consider: $25,900 yes... that's roughly what I have spent just on parts!! (see ROUGH estimates below)
$1600 front suspension parts (1990 up lower A arms, wheelbearings, 1990 spindles, rebuilt rack with center tube flipped 180 degrees, tie rod kit, BC coil overs)
$2000-3000 raw crossmember (this is a guess)
$2500-4500 5.7 Hemi engine
$2000 plug and play 5.7 harness with computer
$2000-3000 transmission (6-speed), bell housing, clutch, flywheel, slave cylinder)
$300 trans crossmember (this is a guess)
$1500-2500 rear crossmember with frame connectors
$1600 Art Morrison triangulated 4 bar links, brackets, sway bar, coil overs
$3000 rear axle, locker, rear brakes
$1500-4000 exhaust varies from exhaust manifolds to headers, lots of choices
$400 fuel cell, fuel pump, lines
This doesn't include modifying your trans tunnel, exhaust tunnel, removing your spare tire well, and all the odds and ends you'll need.
So with all that said what could I do but shake their hand, thank them for their time, load my car and drive home.
I'm not really sure what direction I'll go next, but with less than 30 days before I deploy for 9 months I'm sure this means another year set back.
Respectfully,
Tom
