Cool Scratch build

Gentlemen,
I believe that most people will miss the point about home built anything .....car,plane ,helicopter,street rod...cobra.There is a great deal of satisfaction that comes from a concept to a finished product when done " by yourself".If money were the only factor,then certainly I could work overtime to buy what someone else produced probably cheaper than what I built it for.But I would lose that gained knowledge and sense of acomplishment for each piece that was hand crafted and assembled.To all that can afford to purchase the best and have the work done for you ..thats great , but some of us enjoy the" labor of love" and the heck with resale.I personally have lost money on every vehicle I have ever built.(Time wise).If the ability is not there to create ..by all means purchase.It does not diminish the basic idea...To have fun and enjoy the hobby ....Not a flame , just an opinion.
