Not everyone is a car builder. Some of us are chefs, IT guys, web developers, contractors, investors, etc. Just because you like hot rods does not mean that you have to build your own.

I just want to know the threshold of what's "built" lol? If I did the front suspension and brakes, some interior work (like dash panel, seats etc) and built the motor is that built? But I paid a shop when I ran out of "time" to install the engine/tranny and rear suspension? Wonder if I sourced and picked every single part and planned it? So I'm not sure which side I should take in this ...

IM an IT guy, I build some of it.. and a man needs to know his limitations :) I taught myself to weld, do some basic stuff, DSW firewall, small rust repairs, but my DSE quarlink and mini tubs I leave up to the pro's(cough cough vince) I do all my own wiring, all my own reassembly.. Im not sure.. where I stand.. I just know my limitations.. :)

Ask me if I give a sh!t....



BTW Corey -- the BOUGHT '33 was driven to Texas from California and from Idaho to Bowling Green Kentucky last year (2015). Nobody gives a damn except me.

I can see why you paid somebody for the second one. :innocent:

I've built and bought. My built car I've had for 20 years and probably won't go anywhere until I'm gone. I've had a few cars built for me and i really don't enjoy them. My last bought car is my favourite car I've ever owned, i have it insured year round, i drive the piss out of it. I personally feel it's a silly argument. When someone says built not bought i wonder how they fit a machine shop and foundry in their garage. Do what makes you happy and don't worry what makes someone else and how your enjoyment is better than theirs.
