Hopefully you will! *knowing grin*
I did not assemble my sister car to Shelby's CSX 3056, but I am VERY grateful to the original owner for going through the efforts, time and expense to do so. I could never have spent that much time, but I appreciate the car probably just as much, in fact maybe even more, because for me, it was a real financial stretch at the time to get it. It's the kind of "feeling good about what you did" you feel when you bend over to pick up the trash you threw at the trash can (and missed), even when you know that nobody is looking. It just feels right. Not smug, as some would conclude, just comfortable and contented. As I've said, nobody where I work even knows I own the car, much less ever seen it. It's not so I can show off, it's just for me. My friend told me once when she bought me a silk Marshall Field's neck tie in 1976, when all my other ties were polyester from Marshall's or T.J. Maxx, "When you buy quality, you only cry once". I still wear that Field's tie to this day.
