    Tech, the idea is to sell the gold and pay for the car. I agree about gold as a poor investment.
    40Ford, I have a car very similar to the one in the second pic....although it didn't cost Karl Orr a lot of money, today it would cost a bit to do it right....my car has 2335 hours in it and $44,306.92 in materials (including sandpaper and tape). Could I have done it using 1-800-Speedway? Of course but it wouldn't be the same. I value my time at $100 an hour and charge customers accordingly (actually, they get charged a tad more because of overhead cost). If I can get my yard mowed for less than $100 an hour, I sub it out and offset that by work that pays $100 an hour or more. Fortunately, we have to turn work away so the make/buy decision is easier. Too many people value their time at 10cents per hour.
