What does it cost?

Those TV builds easily top 100k, when I started building my green 70, there were No aftermarket body panels, except fibreglass front fenders, had a pair, they were crap. Other than engine parts, very little was available for that car. So I bought parts cars wherever I could find them, 13 in total, mostly 70 or 71 models, a couple later ones, used what I could, sold what I didn't need, plus bought, fixed and sold a few dozen other cars to raise funds. In the end I estimated I had about 14-15k invested, but the enjoyment I got from driving the piss out of that car every chance I had was worth far more than money. I sold the car after 21 years for $13,500, so I have no real complaints in that regard. My dad used to rag on me for years about the time and money I was putting into it, until one day I made a comparison to the car he was driving and how it depreciated daily, where mine would at least be worth as much or possibly more when I decided to part with it, too bad he wasn't around when I sold it so I could say "I told you" LOL
