Re: What did your resto/rod end up costing?
I've got an big ol envelope that I'm keepin every single parts receipt (no matter how small) in.I keep it tucked away where the wife won't go looking for it.I'm gonna guess the final total will be in the 30-35k CDN range.I'm not concerning myself too much with budget,if I want a certain part I buy it so long as it isn't going to put me in the poor house at that time.I try to buy a couple of things each month.What I buy depends on how busy I was at work.If I had a good month,then I tend to buy some of the bigger ticket items.If not so good,I buy smaller stuff that is still important.
The funny part is I think I have nearly as much invested in new tools bought for working on this project as I have invested in parts to date.lol
