Well, I used to be a mechanic for many years and I have always wanted to build a project car. There once was a time when I had the knowledge, tools, ability and time, but was lacking in the area of $$$$. Cash is still thin, but I'm sure I could skim a bit here and there to make it work, but the problem I'm facing now is time, and the fact that my Home Owners Association will not let me work on a car in my own driveway.
So I decided I wanted to build a kit car. It is a complete kit that you can assemble over a weekend inside your garage, oh wait. I don't have $20,000 for the kit or $5,000 for the engine, or $4,000 for the tranny, drive shaft, rear axle, wheels and tires (which are all not included in the COMPLETE build kit.
So instead I bought a parts kit to build a gun. To be specific, it is an M1911A1 (Pre-70). This is going to be a mil-spec plinker just for fun at the range, but plan on making a few more, like a super reliable and smoothed out carry gun, and a match grade pistol for driving tacks. I've never built a gun before so wish me luck!
Bye,
Ruben
AR-15's are great to build too. And if you get into reloading I think you'll be able to weigh things out well enough!
