how to save money building your car

It's just not a cheap hobby to play in. I agree with those who said buy a finished car, that will always be the most car for the money. May not be the car you want though.
I found on all my builds they tend to evolve and expand to consume 200% of the available time and money.
My upcoming build idea is to make all the decisions first, spreadsheet the budget and try not to make any changes. We'll see how that works------------------
