I completely understand about scope creep adding time to a project, I've done the same thing before. Sadly, I also have a friend building a twin turbo Trans Am that will probably never see the pavement because of scope creep.
Ironically the two most fun cars I've ever built were done with a notepad full of notes before a single bolt was turned. I was on a super tight budget and kept the attitude that anything that came up and wasn't part of the original project (while I'm here upgrades, other people's ideas, etc.) would not even be entertained until the next phase. The next phase was only to be thought about after the car was back on the road.
I love the tutorials on how your updating everything, I do the same thing. This helps people understand normal people like us can build cool cars at home if they can't afford a big name shop.
