If Mopar guys are cheap. Then there must be way more Chevy guys that are cheap.To be honest spending the kind of momey even to build a 9 second bracket car is out of the reach of many. I was fortunate to learn how to do almost evrything myself. This basicly eliminated labor. I've side jobbed my race stuff for 30+ years. Not afraid to buy used parts. You do what you need to do if you want to race. Pretty tough justifying spending household income for a race rig with a family.
