I echo Jim, Bill and Dan's comments. I too didn't have any issues to speak of. I completed my build by working only on weekends and a couple hours after work a few nights a week and it took me only 10 months in my 2 car garage and it's the first car I ever built.
No 2 cars/builds are going to be exactly alike. The originals are even different from one to another.
Be careful the bridges you burn as karma has a funny way of returning the favor.
Good luck in your new endeavors.
