Knew a guy who insisted you weren't a "real" car guy unless you did it "all", mechanical, electric, paint, etc. So what he always wound up with was 50 footers. To compensate for that he spent (and still does) most of his time finding flaws with everyone else's ride.
There was a time I believed I had to do it all, but as many of you know, over time mother nature gets in the way. So these days I'm content to associate with good rod shops that can do for me what I can no longer do (I'm nudging 80 real hard). So what if I didn't personally build it? I get enjoyment out of the conceptual design, and following the build and when I can helping those that are just starting out in the hobby. Just saying.
