One more thought on this subject. When you were finished, you not only beamed with satisfaction, but you knew it was done right! No surprises 2 years done the road; nothing "swept under the carpet". A guy who is building a car to sell may cut a few, or more, corners. You can hide a lot of half-ass work with paint and carpet. I don't do all my work. I am not able to for the same reasons sighted earlier; ability, time, etc. However, I do act as a subcontractor, if you will, and I know exactly what I got! No surprises.

WRONG!!!! After really going through the car it was said that I had some work ahead of me, I learned a lot out of it many things that I couldn't do my brother would show me how to do it (imagine being 16, and never really messed with brakes all that much and doing a whole disc brake swap.... not fun, especially without instructions and using parts that weren't meant to be on the car). My hats off to those who can do it all also, I didn't paint my car or do the finish work on the body. But I'm learning thats why I bought my 69 stepside, only have $300 in it so when I go to paint it I won't be mad if it turns out wrong!!! In ways I kind of wish I would have bought totally redone cars, but then I wouldn't have had such a learning experience. But no matter what if you built your car from the ground up or if you bought it finished either way your still an enthusiest and you have excellent taste in rides!!!
