Agree, but I am not sure how many of us can say that we "built the car from the ground up" It is one thing to spend the weekend replacing valve covers, and another spending 2.5 years building your dream. I can understand why so many of these cars sit in garages not complete, and why so many of us buy them complete.
I for one must touch every part, from the rod, timming the cam to the suspension, to the wiring, to the interior , to the paint job on the car, and that is why it took me 2.5 years......
Different horses for different courses, we all are custom car builders at our own levels,
Glad to hear that the motor turned over, I have seen these cars complete and they look awsome!
Have fun!
