okay the good news is that the missing item was 1200 not 1600.. bad news... there were 2 of them.

more bad news... in addition to 2 large ones adding up to aboou 2500 and a few medium adding up to about 2000 and a whole bunch of small ones I was only about $7000 off.
bascially the 15 months I fell off the face of the earth... from apr of 05 to july of 06 i was still buying parts, still spending money (like crazy), just not getting around to recording any of it.
this list should be pretty close. it doesnt count things like wd40, pb blaster, rattle cans, sand paper, etc. and no tools
other than that it is pretty much complete.

Sometimes it is dangerous to put a price tag on a labor of love....Keep up the good work, Ben!
There is no substitute for low end torque!

This is a minor but important update
Pretty sure the body is set for good.
I am going take it to the body shop Wednesday.
