Welcome to the forum. Since nobody ever gets out of a rod what they have in it, you can save some money by buying someone else's unwanted project or finished car. However, and this is a BIG however, it is tough to find a well built car because of all the junk out there. You have to be very careful and look at how things were done. I'm not talking about minor changes to make it your own, but rather shoddy workmanship and substandard components.

For every 10 or 20 cars I see for sale, I see maybe one that is worth buying. You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet a Prince, as they say.
