Once that is finished, move on to the next and before you know it you’re making inroads into it.

    The cost of building a car is the reason there is lots of unfinished projects up for sale . Anyone car pull a car apart, then the big dollars start lowering there bank balance. I wanted a rat rod , I bought a unfinished project had a budget of 30 to 40 k and I ended up spending nearly $200 k . Once it goes to a car fabrication shop then you have to keep at it till completion and its now not a rat rod

    • @Wreck2resto
