If your building it as investment to make money, forget it, not going to happen. if you building for your pleasure and willing to drop whatever your budget allows regardless of what it will sell for, go for it, and enjoy it when your done.
There is a lot of truth in that of course, but people do build to make money. I was comparing custom trucks to say the custom street machine / muscle car arena and it is relatively easy to build a 60-70's street machine and sell it for 25k-30k, assuming a good starter can be found that is.
