Build or buy?

[wmhjr]

Lots of good advice here. To me, the question always comes back to "what are you trying to do?"



If money is no object or if you're fulfilling a dream building that one car exactly how you want it, then the experience of building one is priceless - so long as you realize you're very unlikely to get your money out of it.

If money is important and you want to get the most you can for what you have, then by all means, buy one mostly done. Also consider that there are some fabrication skills that you may not have (or want to learn maybe) and it might be helpful to have that work already done.

Either way, have fun!
