Chop Cut Rebuild Spin-off

You know, I have often wondered about how much money we sank into our cars, trying new parts, rebuilds, etc. over the nearly 50 years of their lives. My guess is thousands, at the least. I have no problem with a show putting all the parts together during one build in one series. I don't think it would be wise for a TV series to build a car as we did in the past...it might last for decades.
