How do you approach a build?

cudamark said
Step 2 1/2.....gather all the parts you need for the build before you tear it down.
Step 2 3/4.....figure out who is going to do the work that you aren't/can't do and get prices.
Step 4.....get a second job to pay for it all!

Ive been gathering parts for about a year and a half.

I plan to do most the work myself. Except for machine work.

I have a second job already that money goes specifically towards the car.
