Touché. I do say quite often that what goes into most of this is time more than anything else. Parts are still god awfully expensive but I suppose you are right if you are patient and strategic you can likely find a great deal. I just think of things like putting a good looking induction on the motor and getting it to run well with that induction is a pretty significant entrance admission. But I guess you’re right $25000 can get you going especially if you are handy in all other areas.
