This is excellent advice. Sometimes the little things that are not planned for or not realized in the beginning of the project can add up quick.

Yeah you just don't realize, by buying one part may mean you need 4 other parts to make the first part work. And when I have it apart I always seem to do extra so I won't have to take many parts off to add one new part, which always costs me more. Adds up quick, at least for me.

BOY do I know how things add up quick. The project started 3 years ago when I found a good deal on a 92 Camaro and told my dad. He said just fix up the Camaro you got and drive it. Well I have $15K in it and it is just a shell. Was thinking that the whole project would cost about that. WRONG with my need for everything to be perfect and all of your cars looking sooo good here we are.

Thanks for all the advice

Kevin
