I do everything on my cars including paint and body (still learning though). The only things I dont do are trans re-builds, ring and pinion set-up and upholstery. I do want to eventually learn upholstery though

Home built here.
A friend of mine did paint and body (in his garage at home)
I farmed out: engine machine work, upholstery, rear end build and front end alignment.

Building mine at home aswell! love feeling of the mini accomplisments each evening, plus not sure i would find anyone anal enough to do the detail stuff i like in a car well except for maybe Troy but thats a check i would not want to right!

With the exception of paint, mine has been built in my garage.

I'm saving up for a Johnson's Hot Rod Shop build. I have a long way to go. But then again, I have plenty of blank checks.
