Why not help the newbies and tell them to find more money instead of throwing garbage together. I don’t care who you are, you can’t build anything decent with 3k. Not even close. As I said early on, this argument is to fluff your ego. The real world doesn’t operate on financial skimping that ends up with something that is just a cleaned up worn out engine. I see you are quite happy the poll is rolling your way, and I call that a sad testimonial to the state of the hobby right now. Cheap is cheap and cheap is almost never good.

• Tell a 19 yr old he has to save to 10k to play in our hobby and you'll find him doing something else. I would have not been able to play for YEARS if I had to wait for a "certain amount". But I started playing at 14 when I bought my first '72 Duster. I would have told YOU the same thing then as I'll tell you now.... Go Fly a Kite. :D
• Fluff my EGO... LOL. Eat glass, pffft ! Do you know my name?? How many here on FABO KNOW my name and where I live ???? Yeah, it's what I thought, pretty much NONE! And it's all about me...... except nobody knows me. Hard to pat a back if you don't know where the back is or who the back belongs to........ :rolleyes:
• REAL WORLD??? I think I live on the same Earth as you. I think I can drive on the SAME roads as you. My most expensive motor I put together right now in all my classics is a 1450 dollar motor. Guess what? All run GRRRREEEAT !!!!
• Now, you can take your High Fly'n Ego and all your BIG dollar builds and stroke your ego with them.... they are nothing to me.
