i prefer to build um myself then when some on compliments you can say "I built that" sure it cost more and take more time but thats the way i would go not let some other joe schmo build it for me

X2, i've been dragracing for over 55 yrs. and have built every car i've ever ran. I've won some and lost a lot, but when you win there's a lot more pride when you win. I've never been the fastest (brackets), but have run the tree, so it's up to me to win not the fastest or best car. Build it yourself and you know what you have.
