They Said It Can't Be Done...Or Don't Even Try

You know, for a lot of us these cars aren't about making money.

Seems like the owner of the car is capable of doing the work, probably knew he wouldn't ever see the time he's invested pay out in monetary fashion, and did the work because it meant "saving" the car. Or maybe just for the satisfaction of doing it. That used to be enough...

Agreed. An absolutely incredible amount of work to do what you did. But, to be able to show your friends what you actually DID instead of BUYING, thats where the pride kicks in.
Congrats!
