OOH30T... that's one car i'm deeply in love with.
Can't wait to see it hit the track again.
As for DUF it all depends on what you really want to do. As mentioned you can go into the 8 second zone with an untubbed rear end. It's been done time and time again. If you plan on mini tubbing it then it's a matter of what you want to do with yours. If you don't want to cut yours up then it makes perfect sense to sell up.
And again people with opinions on what's worth what. For the bloke that said he'd get no more than 6k for his shell how's this for a response, i'm offering the owner 10k for it, 4k well above what you said. Some people don't understand the amount of time and money put into an excellent spray job.
As for cars getting built in 8 weeks, if you have the money there is always a way. Ank is the car you're talking about nearly ready?

This thing is truly immaculate if it was me i'd just tub it and race it, personally i wouldn't bother spending money tubbing and caging something that wasn't a genuine calais turbo.
Should this thing be worth 8k? Definately.
On the open market is it really? Maybe not, rolling shells don't typically fetch a whole lot.

I wouldn't want a borg warner with an $80 minispool and a set of 31s if i was building an 8 second car.
