Buy someone's finished or almost finished car, there are lots of partially finished projects that you can "make your own" or save thousands of dollars and man hours buying one that is complete.

I have a cheap hot rod for sale, unfortunetly buyers are even cheaper or poorer. It is easier for most guys to throw a few hundred dollars at a project rather than spending the cash up front for a done car, but those projects although well intentioned,usually never get finished.
