[LS short box]

I have kind of different thoughts on the car/truck hobby in general. If I can get my "material" costs (vehicle and parts) out when I sell it I'm good. My labor is worth about .02 per hour. Having said that I have made some money on my hot rods when I sold them.
Consider this, when you go on vacation do you get money back or just say that was a great time and it costs what?. Same thing to think about when you do a hot rod project. Great to make a little or break even but if it was a good project and it takes a bit out of the pocket book don't look back. Go on to the next project.
