Here is my secret... I only deal in abandoned project trucks. You can buy them for pennies on the dollar and if you do your homework and know what you are looking at you can buy them with all of the hard work and high dollar stuff done.
Here is one example in this link:

I am working on the Blue truck now. I will have around 6k in this truck when it is finished....
Another example:
The most I have ever had in a truck when it was finished is 9k and that was the Red & White truck pictured below. I sold it for $16,500 so you know it was a pretty nice truck. To keep this on topic, compare it to the truck in the first post in this thread...
