In response....built or bought...that is a touchy one I see...not everyone has the skill set to build, just like not every one has money to buy...so in my mind we should be doing both together..I was lucky enough to have uncles and friends to learn from my old man didn't have the skill-set to build, but he was one HELL of a great marine and took a few bullets in Vietnam for us and I remember him asking me to help him with his Mustang, so side by side I imparted a little knowledge to my old man, thats how it should be, I'm proud as a guy who builds cars to have someone that respects our industry enough to lay out the money to support another builder and join our car culture..thats the greatest compliment EVER! that dude could spend that damn cash anyway he wants, he could buy a boat, motorcycle, windsurfer, hookers, what the **** ever, but he chooses to buy a car and join us! rock on man! I will have a beer with that dude any time, I built mine, I built some for friends, I'm building another now for my girlfriend, and now I'm luckier than HELL to build for a living, WE ARE ALL CAR GUYS, my Pops will never be the builder I am and I will never be the Marine he is, when you meet a car guy that bought his car .....admire it for the vision it is between builder and buyer and remember, some garage guy built it, somewhere and that is what we all do....
