If I'm being honest, if I'd known how much work it was going to be, I'd have probably never started.
Relatively few people actually design and build a car from SCRATCH and I was ill prepared for all the things that had to be done and all the things I needed to know before I did them. Instead, I learned as I went...usually during the first or second redo (not the recommended approach). Still trying to figure out all sorts of things that I should have resolved before I started.
The main reason that I didn't build a hard buck was that I didn't really have a design. I knew the look I was after. The ironic thing is that I made my living as a program manager preaching "Failing to plan leads to planning to fail!" You'd have thought would have known better...
. But like many of the customer projects I was called in to rescue, ".
..I just wanted to get started on the fun stuff..."
Oh well. They say when you quit learning you're dead.
