When I built Cadillac Attack as a home builder in 1994 in my garage, sending out only the paint, seats, I spent about 3 times what I figured, 45k.
Lots of good points in this thread.

I agree totally about customer's who have gone some place else before and I seem to get alot of customer's who show up after they have spent a fortune at another shop and then hope I can straighten everything out. Many time's I should have said NO but I did what I could to make them realize their dream,s. And when their happy and showing off their pride and joy, Well you can not possibly buy that kind of advertizeing.
I just wish they would have come to me first instead of triing to get a deal.
