You just live and breathe it for a couple of years.Every night and weekend in shop.You have to be focused and trudge on.Takes a certain type of person.
Not for the casual person who has no idea what their getting into.

So for people who make smart *** comments have they done a build or just done a few minor mods.

I've done a couple of builds in my earlier years. Almost cost me my marriage, almost filing for bankruptcy. Pissed off a lot of friends. Being in the rabbit hole so deep, that I popped out the other side. Then got sucked back in.

Hey Rusty you certainly know.
Thats what I'm talking about.
What it takes to build car start to finish.
Some people call it crazy.I call it focused.

I’m being very cautious & not wanting to begin until I have some needed things in order

I have done a few myself besides my latest. It was much easier before. Nobody was the wiser. Only a select few knew what you were up to. I lost a fiancé from one. That was a blessing.
