X2, it all depends on how perfect you want it and how much time you can dedicate to a project. You also have to know a little bit about yourself? Have you done anything in the past which would help you get a car together? I've painted a few cars, done some bodywork, and mechanical work. I'm not an expert, but I just don't have the cash to throw down on a custom build. My only choices are to do pretty much everything on my own (with the help of some good friends from time to time) or not have a classic car in my garage. I have found that some of the stuff I was nervous about like replacing quarter panels was not as technical as I thought. Lots of time and work, but it's getting there. I can accept that my car will never be as nice as some of the custom builders on here, but they do it for a living. When it's done, I can say, yes, I built that
