I also believe a big part of what is driving these prices is the current state we are in with the availability of parts. I mean who wants to build a car right now when you have to wait months for parts? Just buy one done, usually cheaper than the build cost anyway.
I waited 3 months to get quarter panels and 4 months for the outer wheel houses needed to go with them. I've had an exhaust system on order since early November last year and it's not predicted to be in till the end of February. I'm betting that'll get pushed back further when the end of February gets here.
I've had a 4L80E on order since the beginning of December. Still told it'll be at least February. Hughes is having trouble getting the clutches they like to use. So many cam cores are out of stock, and aluminum heads are like hens teeth, I've got 2 engines I can't finish. I've gotten to the point I've stopped ordering stuff if it's not in stock and let the projects sit.
