You know Sergeant, it's a funny thing with that. Some of us get all of our kicks from the engineering, purchasing of raw materials, cutting, welding, grinding and generally figuring out what the final product will be and how it will perform. Once the project is almost done, I begin to back off of it and usually there would be someone come along and offer me what I thought the project was worth and I'd start another project. For me, it's all in the building of the car.

That's a very nice car.

I've done that a few times! I do like the engineering and building. Years ago, many shows would give a "Best Engineered" award. I won a couple and they meant more to me than some of the more supposedly prestigious awards.
