Yes, it will take tens of thousands to complete.
Yes, you will get disillusioned and frustrated.
Yes, you will curse and bleed.
Yes, you will think you may have made the wrong decision and second guess yourself.
Yes, people will think you're nuts.
Yes, it'll probably be worth less than what you have into it when you're done. Money isn't everything.
But...
You will have many satisfying days (and nights!)
You will enjoy working with your hands and seeing your accomplishments.
You will show off your handiwork.
You will make it your own.
You will watch it come together.
You will push it from no progress to nice progress on your own.
You will finish it someday.
You will drive it with pride, knowing what you did and how you did it.
I have had many people look askance at some of my ideas over the years. Some people lack vision. Some lack determination. Some lack both. It's not their life (or car), it's yours.
I have always made my ideas work, some better than others. They're mine for better or worse, as this will be yours.
Good for you. Eyes wide open on this car and plan, plan, plan.
