To you cats with big...
...modifications, how long did it take you to build your cars? I guess I could wait five years to finish building mine, but I'd much prefer to have it done by early next week.
Someone school me on patience.

RE: To you cats with big...
I've been working on mine for about a year, and have roughly 8 grand invested including the price of the car when I bought it($1500). I did all the labor myself including my roll cage. So that is all parts. I saved a butt load of money by doing all the labor myself. I still have about 6 grand untill I have everything i want to do with my stang. Just have paitients dude, I promise it will be worth it in the end.

, will give me the patience to mod my car. Course, it probably will take me a few years though.

in the last 2.5 years ive probably sunk about $20,000 into my car (that includes the price of the car, $4000) on this and that. that includes labor on some mods i had done before i know how to do anything for myself. at this point tho, i dont even know what a mechanics shop looks like cause i never go

RE: To you cats with big...
Well, I was working on my 88 for over 2 years and than gave up and baught this 93. I know what you mean about not having patients though, it kills me to know that I have to wait like 10 months before I can save up for a blower!
