Who has built there own car.

I pay for machine shop services, materials, glass (front and rear windows), and exhaust bending. Otherwise I do everything and have since 1987. Mechanical, steel work, body work, and paint. I've also done a few others for other people. I started because I was not satisfied in quality or explanations of what happened when I did pay for something. So I learned not to trust most average places, and I learned everything I could about how they worked. I was not into cars at all until I had a mopar, and I'm the only one in my family (of seven) that does. IMO, you can't get a better feeling then seeing your work impress a stranger or watching an engine beat another car...lol.
