I absolutely agree with you.

I did my first ever body work and painting on the bottom of my 32. Enlarged the trans tunnel in-situ, fixed some flaws, etc.. It was a great measuring stick for what is to come with the topside for me.

And yeah I basically shot it after becoming weary of messing with it rather than having it perfect. But I figure it would cost more than $10k easy to have a shop do all this work and I don't have the resources for it as all my money is in the mechanical areas.

When I finish the top side I already know it ain't gonna be perfect. But I will have put plenty off effort into it, it will look really good, and I'll be proud of it. And no one will believe I did it myself
