Especially the fab & body work... they would never get done. I would gather parts, change my mind, sell the parts for a loss, buy new parts, etc. I know some of that that goes on with lots of guys, but I would be out of control. After a couple years, I would abandon the whole thing.
I do love trick cars, so I CAN however, buy a complete car, then change things to update and re-create it to my current taste. Which is what I did. Took 5 minutes to buy it, but all this winter to tear it all apart & freshen things up.
Instant gratification. I don't get quite the same pride factor you guys must feel, but I know myself well.
Here's to you guys that can start with a rusty hull & end up with a complete, well running, great handling show piece.
I am truly envious!

I think this (adhd) is part of my problem, I bought a done 65 chevelle, but when people asked me if I built it telling them no made me feel strange. I've always worked on cars, know a little about each aspect of building one, but I have never tackled a ground up. So I sold the chevelle and started my nova build. Like you said, I often think about selling it and wish I did things differently, however I think the end result will be worth the wait. So after reading how long many "Joe's" take to build these badass rigs gives me the motivation to hurry up and wait! lol
