Believe it
Think Challenge competitors may be guilty of some creative accounting — that no one could really build a high-performance car for a measly two grand and change? Think again. Challenge competitors are required to provide documentation to back up their accounting claims, and we look them over.
Now we’ve put the Challenge-winning Cheaparral Corvette’s build diary online, so you can look it over, too. Start believing.
Come on the “RECEIPT” for his car is not a bill of sale it’s a tittle receipt he filled out the cost of the car not the person he got it from.Plus who paid for all the shipping of the parts bought on E-Bay?It looked to me like the shipping was more than the parts most of the time.What about all the extra items he had to buy to get the things he wanted at those prices .If he add up what he really spent it’s a hell of allot more than $2007.I guess you don’t have to count it if you don’t get a receipt.

Its an amazing car! But why dont they have to count shipping charges since they counted that money for the stuff that they sold? I am sure they could have sold a couple other items and equaled it out but it just seems a bit cheesy. Awsome car!

Mistified, they actually sold more than I put in the online thing… quite a bit more. I just quit when I got it down to the budget. They were well within the rules.
And this is Baxter.. the system always wants to think I’m Per, but I’m not really that cool.
