Default Who built their own cars and still own them?

Since it is an idle time for a lot of us,thought this would be a good question to float.
How many of you built your own cars,and of those that did still own them?

Bought my kit in 1993 even after a lot of research looking for as close to an original as possible(wanted fiberglass) bought a CMC car.Even dealing with these people never lost my desire to finish this car and did get all my parts.Was downsized out of my career job in 1994 with the car less than 1/2 done,used some of the severeance to pay off everything.Found other work immediately and finished the car in late 1995.Since then have done a few tweaking upgrades all in the pursuit of performance,and looks.Leather interior,undercar exhaust,scaled suspension,massaging the 468" to near 600hp,finally looking into a hardtop for the finishing touch.This car satisfies all the senses and I know it inside and out,truly a member of our family.
