I can definitely attest to this. I had planned on building two motors
but after spending nearly $2500 on the first I have since axed that
idea.
Keep it simple. My 67 SV was my first restoration and I am wishing I
had heeded that advice. Here I am, ten years after starting, and my
car is still not done (but very close) and I shudder to think what I've
spent over the years (I have purposely not added the receipts yet). If
you're building a driver, then just do that (this was my mistake). If
you're building a show car, then you've got a huge project on your
hands that will take thousands of $'s and many years (if you're doing
it yourself). Most of all, don't lose heart and don't stop, even if it
means just doing one small task. There were times I let my car sit for
many months without doing a thing. If you get discouraged, then clean
the garage or rearrange your spares, do something to make you feel as
if you're accomplishing something.
My .02¢,
Christopher
