Paint Job $500 (thats material costs) have a member (wouldnt charge me)
Wheels $0 I have a set of Daytons
Interior $400 have a member (material cost)
Hydraulics $900 (just buy a setup) have a friend to install them

not very realistic. materials alone on that car is going to run about 600-1000. we are talking getting people to do it all. talking about sponsors, and homies. interior like that better have someone who knows what they are doing. top notch work costs top notch money. bumpers and just front header panel hook price at 800 bux. now get a 90 dash and make it work another 400 bux. dont forget the moldings,chromes. another 400 bux or so. not going to be cheap. not many fleetwoods at the junk yard. if it is what condition?

What I put is realistic to me....
My dads friend owns a junkyard, so I get pretty much anything I need for free. I was going to pay 250 for the 83 2dr Brougham. Clean body, no dents, clean interior, but the engine was blown. So I got the Cutlass instead. I dont know how much a euro kit for a caddy would cost. But other than that, everything is a breeze. That Caddy is real nice, but for 15K, It should atleast have an all chrome under-carriage.

Plexi-glass would be your best bet. It is a mirror finish.
