True that.
But most people will not understand the effort they will put into something in reality until they have it invested and they have blown their wad of money in the process. So hindsight is always 20/20.
We did a billet dash and glove box for this 1966 truck we are building with an early dash in it. I don't think there is a truck guy on the planet that will pay 3000 for billet dash for their 66 truck and 1500 for a glove box. So you also have to build for the market.
