Yes,if you got money you can buy a piece of metal that was built by someone else,if you have fun doing that go get a 800 hp hellcat. But to me half of the fun tends to be like a scavenger hunt,trying to find the one piece that you need. There's also the satisfaction after spending years putting it together knowing every screw and bolt was turned by you. It's called pride to me, I paid $1400 for a 74 duster 4 years ago, put new floor pans,new truck pan,turn downs, taillight panel,new gas tank,new brakes all the way around,rebuilt tranny,rebuilt a 67 model 318, new crank,,bored ,cammed,new high rise,new 600 cfm carb new radiator,new carpet,headliner,covered door panels,upholstered seats,new windshield and door glasses,new paint job. Granted some parts was used and it's not a show car but it was a learning experience and the car turns heads. I have about $12,000 dollars invested,not another car in the condition of this car that I can purchase would give me the same satisfaction. So as I said ,lot of the fun is in the hunt, a perfect example is the passenger side mirror, I drove 3 hours to buy it,but purchased 2 other cars from the junkyard and pulled them home, sold both for enough to cover alot of the cost of building my Duster....just saying,whatever floats YOUR BOAT may not float mine.
