I have always done just about everything in building my projects and the end result makes me feel pretty good about all the effort and skills that went into building it. Finished up a project for a guy (side work!) and he has a few folks believing he did all the work on it. I personally do not care but my question would be is there a different since of pride when you are driving around a nice car that you had nothing to do as far as the work or skills but your money and color choice are what is shown? I guess I grew up thinking hot rods and customs were ways of expressing yourself and your abilities.
