Just a thought, not a popular one around here. But here it is anyway. |
I also think giving that thread a close look but for an entirely different reason. It will show just how difficult and unrealistic attempting to build on a tight budget can be, even for someone with a great deal of time, experience, and support can be. While it is true that it can be done with the proper skillset and time, the idea that anyone can do it is absurd.
My prediction is that if you head down the path, the most likely outcome is a compilation of parts that will eventually be the great deal someone else gets to do a budget build. What nobody wants is another car at the local cruise-in of a quality level that it embarrasses all of us involved in the hobby.
