A combo of things. My wife and I both work, but neither of us make big bucks. I try to do side jobs (engine swaps, repairs, etc) for people for some extra scratch. I have also found ebay to be a great way of liquidating parts in my garage and putting some green back in the wallet.
Visa and Mastercard are my friends when I am building something.
I pick up a little extra money selling the corvette headlight conversions.
I also try to make do with whatever I have on hand. I make many of my own tools, parts, and come up with unique, strange, different ways of making swap parts fit. For example, I could'nt scrape up $1,000 for the custom gas tank, so I retro-fitted a 96 Caprice tank. That cost me $0, because I parted out what was left of the car and put money back in the bank! Same on the power window, etc.
