My cars are entirely built in my garage, painted in my garage, etc. The only thing I farm out is the machine work on the engine. I'd do that too if I had the machines There's a couple of reasons I do my own work. Labor is free so I have more money for parts and it takes a lot of money! I usually have issues with other peoples ideas of quality also......
Who cares about his house . With a 8000 sq ft garage he doesn't need a house
x2 I sure as hell wouldn't care i'd be in the garage all day. My fiance would only need 1,000 or so square feet to cook my meals and keep me warm
I did the mechanical and the interior and we did the paint in my buddys pole barn. complete color change from White/blue interior to what you see now.
Still completing the interior
Most of mine was done in my parent's garage... then they moved. It will be finished in my attached garage. I just finished a "shed," 12X24 with one side for storing lawn stuff, and the other as a workshop. I had to do this so my wife could still park her car in the other half of the attached garage.

The only paid labor on my car so-far is the shortening and balancing of my driveshaft... Everything else was done by me, or done for free with the help of family and friends.
This winter, I'm going to have someone else re-cover my seats though.
We just dabble is some light fabrication if you look at our projects. Nothin to fancy.
