When you are done, will you be able to male your own car with "leftover" parts? Maybe just your memory will work. 

1930 fordpickup, I do have a bunch of parts. Doors, a hood and several fenders. Most of the parts are fixed but were badly damaged. Boy I would love to build a full car but it is way out of my budget. The badly damaged car from Daytona, was totaled but was repaired. These cars are so expensive it is hard to total one ,and even that, I could not afford to buy the salvaged car.

Getting quite an assortment of parts. A little over $100,000 in parts, absolutely insane. My little 1:1 Ferrari parts and cars. Totally crazy.

Just a big .1:1 model kit ….. well a very expensive model kit.

First, it’s amazing how they can be continually rebuilt.

Second, it’s amazing the amount of “play” money some people have.

i saw a video over the weekend with an entire field of very expensive race cars piled and stacked on top of each other after a crash in a semi blind corner.

Hello Micheal. I never had that kind of money. These guys and gals have so much it’s unbelievable. There is a guy that just sold his computer company for $250,000,000 and he was at the bottom of the wait list to buy one of these. Insane! The guy at the top of the list has over 15 billion. He gets what he wants. I talked to him for several minutes and it was like we were friends forever. He just asked is my car going to be ready? I said yes and he’s a happy camper. Did not even care about cost. Boy to have that kind of money. I just charge a fair rate and it makes everyone happy. Now if it needs to be done faster they know the price goes up. A lot! And usually it has to be fixed fast. Another strange thing is that no one gets pushy. I have never had a guy or gal get weird on me. Now the guys who think they have money are the ones who try to get pushy. But I just mention one of these billionaires name and they shut up. I just got back from Denver to look at a wrecked ferrari. They paid for everything. These guys and gals do pay for everything. So I’ll be working on his car soon. Ferrari has also notified me that they want to make my city a port of entry for the challenge cars. It’s kind of getting bigger than I thought. Oh well let’s see where it goes.

Ready to have the suspension and engine installed. After the install I get it back for the sheet metal. Just a 1:1 model.
