It's getting cheaper. Hard lesson to learn, you don't always get back what you put in....

at that money if i were after a show car the real easy way and had the coin to spare i'de buy it

[CHOPPED]

with all due respect
at $205 invested i would think he didnt do any work on that car himself
again with all due respect
looks cool though

[Gingy]

I think you just have to not count the cost if you are doing it for yourself. If you kept all the reciepts it would break your heart, but then you dont keep all the reciepts of the beer you bought, or the fuel spent, or bits to go fishing etc...I am definitely NOT keeping reciepts for Martha, I will do as much work as I can myself, the rest well, its cheaper than botox!!!!

I am with Gingy
I have done 85% of the work on my car I am doing it because I want too and when and if I finish it I can say I built it , I wont say I haven't had help but most of the time it was because I didn't have enough hands OR knowledge to do it.
In my opinion If someone else builds it--- it's just another car
OH and it keeps me out of the pub

I am lucky that I have had a great band of friends who have helped me with all kinds of car stuff over the years. I just have a passion for learning, so I want to know how it all works. If I dont know I leave it to the experts, but the rest, well the blood, sweat, tears, scrubbing, sanding, skun knuckles means Martha and I are a team. Sad as it is, I am in love with my car....

true statement there gingy
i kept a book of every cent i put into my chopped ute
does make you go WOW
i did 95 of the work myself too
just dont ever want my wife to find that book
got another book for the 32 coupe

[Gingy]

Hey Chopped,
If she ever finds the book, just ask about shoes - my other vice. Now I definitely dont count the cost there!!!

My other half says of my love of cars, its an addiction. I see it more as a religion, after all you can quit an addiction...

You can see its a cheque-book resto as the owner has tried to break free from his skilled labour shackles and fit the front bumper and scratched the living crap out of the mudguard........

Got smart and taped up for the rears...
