I sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the rigger book give
most of the details and cost etc on most parts of vehicles ?

To build a vehicle from scratch is damn expensive (custom job especial) if
you buy them off the shelves, but if you know people in the trade then the cost
drops considerable.

Anyway, as far as I can see, all that's needed to make SR vehicles is
costings on frame works (chasis), basic bits (ie electrics for lights extra,
standard fittings etc) and all the small extras (the small fun toys)

So really all that's needed is how much each chasis would cost in its different
groups and how much the shell would cost in different styles.

Example

Four different catigories in each field (Bikes, cars, vans, lorries etc)
Poor (very cheap mass produced for low income types)
Average (standard family type)
Good (standard exec/flashy type)
Excellent (custom sport/luxuary type)

And as a slightly more advanced version put on how much more
money it costs to put the Body Ratings up and what the maximum would be.

Hope this is helpful to someone who could turn these in to workable rules.
By the way I haven't seen Kage-car and know little about cars apart from they
cost a fortune to run.
