Not knocking anyone's builds, but I have seen some of those cheap builds, they bought a couple used tires, some bolts, and hoses,............. they already had an old ford (32) laying around that some uncle gave em, and about $8000.00 worth of other parts hanging on the garage wall doing nothing. So the next thing ya know they got a 32 5 window built on the cheap for $1200.00. ................ I'm with you, even with all my wheeling and dealing I've got about $6000.00 in the first one, and have already spent over $4000.00 on the one I'm building.............. I figured I had over $300.00 worth of mig wire alone in the first. Oh well more power to you if you can pull it off. Some guys really can manage to find the stuff, the rest of us buy it.......
