i know that quicksand feeling all too well.... lately the way i do cars is build the motor before i find the car.... once i have the motor done... then i find the car i wanna stick it in...its a quick way to make profit on cars too... I've been buying things that look decent, need new paint and the interior freshened but have no motor or tranny... and then i put it together, throw some paint on it and sell it to make at least $2k-3k profit
