So it comes down to what your time is worth and how much free time you have.

I doesn't mean "money is no obstical" to someone.. it just means they have priorities that might be different from you.
This is true with everyone to some degree or another. Most decisions on whether to buy or build depends on a combination of what you "like" to do, how much "time" you have, and how much "money" you can spend.

Some can can afford to have a car built "turn key" and others barter and beg for parts just to keep their car running. We all fall somewhere in the middle. Personally, with the economy like it is, I have a little more time than extra money so anything that I can make myself helps me put a few bucks away for the wheels and tires that I can't make.

Besides, making custom stuff yourself is COOL!!!
