how to save money building your car

I agree with volunteer, never buy a vehicle that you would not want to keep forever!! It will make life's bumps and all much more manageable. I might have 4 or 5 mopars and I might wake up one day and decide I want to thin the herd, but if I love them all, I do not tend tmake stupid mistakes.
Yes it takes time and work to develop skills, but if you can find a friend to guide you along, the process is way faster than you learning all on your own!!

X2 my buddy says I will never finish my Duster because I am too "picky". I don't care, I did not buy it to sell.
I am down to exterior cosmetics, almost finished with the last 1/4 panel install.
I am in no hurry, but I did buy too many other projects, that I really need to get something done to them while the weather is still good.
But only 2 of them are outside.
Just yesterday there was a local add for a decent storage building 20' x 40' for rent, I told the wife I was going to look at it to rent.
She said if I had that much "junk" I needed to sell some stuff....
In a way I kinda agree.
