The only thing I've ever had done on my cars by someone other than myself is paint, AC work, and alignments. Everything else was done by me, and until a few short years ago in a single-stall apartment garage! I still want to do everything myself but time and energy are becoming more scarce then before.
I'm still no body man so the new Firebird project had one big stipulation - the car had to have clean - straight sheet metal to keep paint and body shop expenses to a minimum. Although it will still be built in my home garage (a detached 2-car affair) I still have access to an incredibly well equipped machine shop with digital scanners, numerous CNC mills, an engine shop, dynos, and other tools so I guess I'll be blurring the lines between home-built and pro-built, but the results are not in yet so we shall see! lol
