    I love the chassis fab, and actually the entire proses,...... that is until you come to wiring,... I only wired 3 cars in my life, smoked two harnesses and set one on fire,.. My sons refer to the wiring drawer of my tool box as my "fire starting kit", needless to say I don't wire cars anymore.

    My favorite part is fabricating the frame and suspension. My least favorite part is the finish bodywork. I enjoy hand-forming patch panels and doing custom metal work; I just dread all the body filler and sanding.

    I am sick like Dave, I really enjoy all aspects of it. It's great from the moment you finally figureout how it is going to be built, from there it starts a new life. I guess if there was one thing that I enjoyed least it would be the sanding. It seemed like I sanded that car of mine and primered it 1000 times. Other than that, it is a great experiance overall with finding the parts, and making them work. The biggest thrill is of course that first cruise and hearing your creation start and run down the road and everything works!! That is the very best!!

    I like it all for the most part, sometimes different aspects annoy me, but in general i like it all. The thing i dislike is not having the money to buy all the stuff i need/want when i need/want it! I do not know what it feels like to be happy when the ups guy shows up, because he never shows up.

    Have to say I pretty much like it all. I guess my favorite part is hearing the engine roar for the first time, it's music to my ears.

    My least favorite: seeing all the nice go-fast parts in the Jegs catalog and not being able to afford them.
    I ain't dumb, I just ain't been showed a whole lot!
