All kidding aside, it's been a wonderful journey and worth every bit of time and money invested. It would have certainly been more economical to buy a Superformance or comparable roller at the outset. But, as you pointed out, there's more to it. The missing variable in that equation are the skills I developed and the friendships I established during this project.

Sure, it's not quite right in proportion, equipment, or pedigree, but then again - like any other Cobra (original, continuation, or replica), it's just a thing. In the end, it's the intangibles that count. My life, and the lives of all the other builders of fakeydoos out there, are better for having walked our journey.

That's what this hobby means to me.
