Hey ... you gotta do what you gotta do ... and I'm all for it !!!
Not too many options out there for us who are building their cars and motors.
Each and Every one seems to be a 1-off project.

We've all had to learn from reading about every one elses trials and tribulations.

In the end - each finished project is a personal statement of your vision - and hopefully it is a source of personal pride and a reward unto itself.

Mine will be done relatively soon (the next 3 months ?) ... it's been a 3 year project of upgrades and in planning and further development, but this past year it has been an enormous headache and one big financial drain.

Right now I dread thinking back on the unfinished project and the toll it has taken on my paycheck, but I am committed to seeing it thru.

I know you can't put a price tag on the time and effort put in to the build, and the escalating price tag of putting it all together, it can be mind boggling.

In the end ... when the bank account has healed ... we do have something unique ... a 1-off personal car and a 1-off learning experience ...
