After I buy and or accomplish each item, I move it across into the "finished" column and adjust the price to what it actually was. I am into this thing 10 grand so far with an estimated 8 grand left to go. This is with me doing as much work as I can myself. Scary!!
I hear ya on the cost man! Everyone who starts thinking about a swap thinks their cheap. You start adding prices up and look out. I thought about using a GM 241 in my Longhorn but wasn't sure how it'd hold up.
