I'm just a young'n, but I listen and watch people. I do think many people's visions are too big for theyre account (I could be wrong haha)

It's a hobby that costs money. I don't want to to judge, but I feel you have to have money to be in this hobby, unfortunatley I don't, and thats why you dont see pics of my '69 Olds in the project section. (Rendering's in the art section) LOL

I think the cost of buying parts makes for a reasonable build, it's when you hire someone to assemble those parts, it becomes expensive...it has to be, its called profit.

I've noticed what you guys said already is true, this site pushes people, could be a good or bad thing, IMO you have to know what you want. Heres an example...Im not buying an LS engine for my Olds. I know what I want, my olds is a mix of pro touring/pro street. The engine I want is a 700+hp, 12:1 455. I like ole' Skool compression....(It sounds better) LOL

Some can argue that my engine will cost as much if not more than buying an LS, but that's not my point. Some people are swayed a little more, they have to be the best of the best, and thats a good way to blow your budget...you always want more.

When it comes down to it...I think the main thing to think about is time. When you dont have the money, you dont have the money, store the car live your life, return to it later. I for one, don't envision paying someone 6 figures to build my Olds (Unless I become a big name car designer). As of now, I plan on building it myself, and just pay parts and meterials....

Adding to that.. I feel you would apprectiate your car more too. I'm restoring my own trim right now (As minute as it may sound) It's very rewarding (and if someone was to scratch it, I would kill 'em!)

That's just my opinion of course, I hope I don't cause any conflict haha
