This is a great read. I feel a little better about my build. I,ve done everything myself up until now. Body and paint are not my strong suit upholstry either. 25K is fast becoming a reality, I,ve learned quick I dont know what **** cost anymore. With all that I,m Getting great satifaction in knowing I did it. Build it, drive it enjoy it.
You have the right attitude, enjoy the result of your efforts, no matter what, you won't likely get your money back, but the enjoyment and satisfaction of knowing you did the work yourself is impossible to put a price on.
