>>>Famous last words.  If, IF the car was 100% complete then you could screw

But the likelihood that it's all there is next to nil.  You get going on a 
project, and suddenly you're missing a specialty bracket,or hinge, or 
whatever.  Pick up the phone and call Wilkinson, and $100 later it's yours.

Repeat about a million times, and in two years you'll be driving a $50K 
Pantera worth $20K.

Don't feel pressure from Don M or ANYBODY to buy a Pantera today, tomorrow, 
or next year.  Buy when you're ready, and buy the BEST you can hope to 
afford, and BE HAPPY. :>)
