    I'm like Tingler was talking about. I go to he store with a shopping list with bolts and little trinkets and wind up dropping 100 bucks by the time I'm back home, and I don't even buy mini bike parts like he did.

    Money spent on just in fluids on a car build.

    2 gallons of antifreeze- 12
    12 quarts of ATF- 20
    5 quarts of oil- 9
    2 quarts of 90w rear end oil- 8
    1 quart of brake fluid -3

    That's over 50 bucks in just fluids.

    Throw in hose clamps, oil filter, thermostat, belts, hoses and all that **** and the money sure adds up, even if you do have all the big pieces to start with.
