"BUILT NOT BOUGHT"

You can spend boocko bucks for something nice and find out later that the rust is coming through that nice paint job or your motor is junk.
I'm with you. If I wan't to buy something perfect that someone else built I will just go down and buy a new vehicle from GM. The fun is in the parts hunting, bringing back from the dead, and the choices that you get to make when you are building it just the way you want!
