Greg, I don't disagree with that at all. Were it not for the fact that he said he's built the body and chassis already, I'd tell him to go look for a car he likes and buy it. And he'd probably still be better off to buy a good used engine, but he wants to build his own. And he may be needing to spend a little, save up, and spend a little, several times, to afford it. In that case, he's better off doing what he can afford as he can afford it.

One thing a lot of us forget is that one reason people build a car instead of buying one is that it allows them to spend money over time, rather than trying to save that money and spend it all at once. Something always seems to come up when you're trying to save up. There's always a need for that money you have put back.
