How much of your current ride, did you build?

Other than machining the engine block & crank / surfacing & milling stud bosses on the heads.... I did everything on my car myself, ( original paint and interior makes that easier )... this includes the basics, as well as the roll bar installation, design & build the headers, rear end & disc brake up-grade, etc.
I agree... I think coming up with these ideas, building them, and making the car faster, IS even more rewarding than racing. Then again, I'm a lousy racer, so I may be biased.

BTW, I've been out of the loop for a few months...
Just got my recent Dragster. When did the Indexes get lowered ?
( just when I finally figured out how to get under the old one )

Except for the main roll bar hoop, all of it. I have very little pride driving something I didn't create, or very least, worked on.
