I think it's just a balance of what you have to work with. Are you lacking on engine knowledge / skills ? Pay someone to do it for you.. Are you good with paint, and have a place to do it ? Go for it..

But, some people have more money than skill. Some people have more skill than money. Some people have a ton of skill, but no time or money to do it... or health just wont allow it. Some have a ton of time and money, but no skill.. etc. etc.

For me it's just a pride thing. there's something about firing up an engine you built yourself. .. or driving a car to a show you know you painted yourself. But, if I don't have the time or knowledge to do it I'll gladly pay someone else to do it and do it right.
