$25k to build (take-out LSx, etc.) $50k resale= money set aside to build the next one-

Any thoughts?

Even doing your own work you cannot turn out a quality car for $25K. Not even close. You'll spend $15K-$20K for the car, and you have no idea what shape it's in until you strip it. You'll have every bit of $50K in it (probably more) so there will be no profit selling it @ $50K.
