[Excaliber]

My buddy bought a really cheap replica that needed a LOT of work, but at least it ran. He was tickled, I was happy for him. Over the years he's continued to up-grade it as the money became available and today you wouldn't recognize the car as being the one he bought some years ago!

Buy used, buy incomplete, fix, repair, scrounge and trade for parts along the way.

...myself I paid cash but I recognize not everyone can do that and Mr.Bruce makes a valid point, life is short.
