i agree with the staements made about trying to build a car to sell and make "good" money in most circumstances.

however, that really only applies to "old" cars, i have financed all my projects and tools by "flipping" cars, most of them being newer clean title fixxers. example, just picked up a clean title 02 lightning with 33K on the odometer, truck is a driver with stocker wheels, regular F150 bumper, and a minor frame tweak(guessing front end collision).... paid 8500, truck books for lil over 20, cost maybe 3k to fix it and put decent wheels on it..... so if im into it 11,500, and sell it for 19k(nice round number and a good deal)...thats 7500 into the project fund, in about 2 weeks time. so yes, there is money to be made, but just not with "old" cars that need a lot more time and money than they will ultimatley be worth.

now...if i didnt have the "job" and a car goin to sema, then i would be in great shape, but the lightning project will more than likely be a shop decoration until december...but thats ok....cuz its almost like money in the bank
