My 67 Camaro is my first car that I bought in 1983. I had several friends that wives forced my friends to sell their cars in the past. I only know of 2 friends that have their cars from the past. I am single income, but I am paying for a house, new truck, etc. I can buy anything that I want, but I won't go in debt over my car. No loans, no charging on the cc, etc. I just pay it in cash.
The best way is just start buying parts, before you start the project. I have less initial investment than any of the cars on the forum. My project officially started in December 2004, and I worked on the car till 2011 at friend's Dad's garage. He stopped it twice in the past, because he had other projects. If you get in a money bind then just stop it for awhile. I have it up north now at the alley, but it is being tweaked some more.
