“A problem (of so many) I have is being picky about getting as much right as I can”

The problem I have. Too much of a perfectionist. My latest car build project I have $80k just in the paint job. Biggest mistake I have ever made. I will easily have $175k in the car by the time it is done and will never be able to sell it for that.

Oh well Always wanted a high end build.

I can’t comprehend spending on that level. That hurts thinking about it.

Tomorrow, I go and gulp to pay for a powder coated chassis and an assortment of smaller stuff.

Looking forward to it though.

Tearing down that far wasn’t the original plan but I kept finding things rusted, bent, or bad shape.

The price of vintage Willys and AMC jeep.
