Thank you

You can do it in Microsoft Project, and link the excel spread sheet to project. I used to do this for my former job, when I was a project manager on fighter aircraft. The projects were never on time and always over cost. I knew the exact turn around time for each process, but it never worked out as planned. Sheet metal always took longer than planned, and it is based on each aircraft. This same example is applied on cars, because of the same processes. In Pro-touring, you see something new that looks cool. So, you want to spend more money than you planned.
Shoe box method works better! Pay cash for everything.. Just put all your bills in the box and forget about it. You won't want to know the actual cost when you are done.
