      Seems like many people pay for labor, and that is not cheap hence the more $$$. I built my car for no more than $15K and that includes the car...Some people who want that "perfect" show car quality paint...yes it will cost a lot of money. But...we drive these cars...who wants a high dollar paint job? I'm confident my "guesstimate" is accurate if you do the labor your self.
      You need to research what parts are actually on those cars. The prices you posted are standard parts without upgrades, an example is the magnum price at $3K, which will not live long behind a 650-700 hp engine road racing it, by the time you get done upgrading it to survive a season you will be into for $4,500+. I put together a quick list of the major parts on my car which is very similar to Kyle and Brians. This list doesn't include the ecu, harness, a/c, tires, plumbing, carbon body parts, gauges, roll cage, paint, or interior.

      Quick list



      Engine: $20,000
      Trans: $4,500
      Brakes: $8,000
      Wheels: $4,200
      Clutch: $1,600
      Fuel tank/pump: $2,700
      Rearend w/floater: $8,500
      quadra-link w/tubs:$5,000
      Sub frame: $9,500
      Headers: $2,000
      Radiator: $2,200

      Total: $68,200
