Looking at, evaluating and pricing a project car.

Unless you are going to put just the minimum into a car and flip it as a project for someone else, projects are NOT lucrative. That said, I treat projects as just that...a project. The joy comes in the process and the results. It is my hobby-not business and when I try to balance the books all the joy is lost. But I must add that I do 100% of the work myself and that is the point.

I purchased my 51 GMC 5 window for $250. I have over $50k in parts, $0 labor. I'm in the black on that one...I think. But that's not the point. I don't feel stuck with it or a need to sell it. In my mind, I spent $50k for the fun of building it, the truck is just the by-product.
