I cant figure this due to the fact i bought my car in boxes. Being so, what do i concider a mod compared to replacement part?? i paid 1,300 for 2 1968 camaros and spent 10 years and somewhere in the range of 15 g to complete it. Then you got the misc. upgraded parts over the years so ??? I also failed to keep any receipt, cause if i did my wife would have kicked my ass LOL ---
