For me it comes down to whether the owner even has a clue about the car.... Did he play at least a role in the design, plan, parts used, theme of the car etc.?... If you ask questions about the car can they answer most of them or is it "no idea, the shop/previous owner" did it..
If you don't have the skill or the time, that's one thing... If you basically just wrote the check and have no clue otherwise, my respect level is much lower...
It's like a sports fan... Do you just wear the jersey and have the bumper sticker on your car because you think it's cool... Or can you at least name a few players on the team, and some basic info.
I would love to be in the position to pay a really good pro to build me a car,,, but I could never be the "call when it's done and I'll write you a check" kind of guy
