Interesting you should mention staging it, I actually just broke some stuff down into stages last night before I left work, stages 1-3. The first and second stage are all the upgrades and goodies to adequately run a high-end engine and stage 3 is the engine components, supercharger, and work. Yes, this is what I do at work most of the day. Ever see Office Space?
$15k in axles is a little over the top for me. Originally I was looking to do Dana 60 front and rear with ARB air lockers. Then I started to do the pricing research on that and was quickly dissuaded. If you look at this month's issue of Jp magazine, you'll find a nice article where they swap in a Dana 44 with a detroit locker for $1700/$1800. Thats about perfect for me, but my mind is always open.
And I think you're right about the hot rod shop idea, I think I'll go visit one today after work if I can find one near by.. which shouldn't be too hard in southern california.
