Welcome Todd,
Are you related to Michael? I still have some S&L stocks!
As far as what it costs to completely rebuild a Spridget, I tried to
figure what it would cost to build a new one from available parts, I
stopped a 20K and I am sure that there was at least another 10K to go
on odds and ends. I would guess that a very good driver can be had
for less than 4K. The first rule is not to ever add up your
receipts, every time somebody does you see them for sale. "Over 20K
invested, sacrifice for only 12,999" See what happens when you add it
up. Measure the fun value, don't count the dollars, and never tell
your wife!
