Derek and 3kidsnotime:
We are not in disagreement at all. What you are saying about picking the rights things, attention to detail, is what I was trying to say or imply (Rather poorly) as being very important.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
For instance if people picked:
A 1975 AMC Pacer, or Matador with a stock Pinto inline 4, and 25 inch spinners (spinning hubcap) wheels, topped off with a Paint job featuring, "Green Pea Soup", color, accented with, "Candy Titty Pink", Racing Stripes. An Automatic transmission out of a '52 DeSota. The totally stock Crappy Beige interior. Stock AM radio and a Cobra 26 Channel CB Radio, with 14 foot tall Chrome antenna mounted to the back bumper, and last but not least a Continental Kit in the rear with Curb Feelers all the way around. Just to show We meant business when building this car, we would put a couple of bumper stickers on the back window. One is a psycodelic "Peace" sign, and the other is, "Support Jane Fonda, A Real American".
How is that for a kick ass, 6 digit price tag, visual??
Best of all:
Total for this beautiful, "One of a Kind, Pro-Touring, Supercar"?
A mere $15,000, and 200 hrs of your labor. What a deal!
---------------------------------------------------------------
This was what I was meaning being worth $.25 on the dollar after it was finished, if choices were not properly made.
Even the project I layed out with the 455. If it was lowered, could run like a scalded Ape, handle reasonably and a knock out killer paint and detail wise, totally Anal Retentive.
Yes, Money well spent. Loads of fun, maybe even make some money. (If you don't continually do Burnouts with High Dollar tires. ;-)
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Does this make better sense??
