Something that's always intrigued me is guys will spend thousands on an engine which an engine build is not that labor intensive. On the other hand those same guys will baulk and squeal when they see body and paint work costs. You get what you pay for. I've hung quarters and block sanded panels until the tips of my fingers bled and I'm a hobbiest. No matter how ya cut it, it's really hard work.

It can be an expensive hobby and a car owner really needs to research exactly what it takes to get their car to a standard in which they can live with.

I always tell the one's that complain constantly about what it costs to do a car. If you don't like spending the money then maybe take up knitting.
