Cool poll idea Todd.
I don't have a pro-tour beast yet, so I voted paying for it.

Waiting and these days paying for it is right up there.

Not true sir..... Don't forget I was a GM tech. It's inevitable on these custom builds. There are just applications where I prefer solder and shrink wrap.

Soldering I always thought is a Ok job, 'all most' satisfying, results come quick and it is so much better... the position under dashes, bent into engine bays and such, that can really suck!
I quality gun is nice, I'm sure you have that dialled. We know Greg does.....

I didn't see an option for listening to the wife nag.

Listening to people talk out their butt about what they know / can do and just smiling politely...

Otherwise I love it all. Bodywork and fabricating are the most enjoyable since you can actually see the car/part taking shape in front of your eyes.

I don't mind paying for the items that I need. LOL I also can't pay for something I cannot afford. I think the worst part for me was all of the welding,grinding and repeat as needed. The metal work was fun at first but started to get old at the end. My shell is the only thing done as of right now. But the doors,deck lid, and front clip is in pretty good shape.

body work- love - hate relationship- Taking a 40 year old mass produced car and giving it Lexus fit and finish

hate it- when a panel won't smooth out

LOVE IT- when it is flat as can be-

My least favorite part is fitment issues, contacting manufactures and having to try several different things to get something to work. Re-doing something several times gets to be old after a while.

I don't mind trying my hand at most anything but front end springs still make me nervous sometimes. lol
I probably like the decision process the most because it's the most creative.

Paying for it.. lol

All the rest is fun.. even when stuff doesn't fit it feels good when you get it to work.

Second place would be delayed parts that are promised and never arrive..
