Hate say this, but I paid too much for my 82 C10 five years ago. Then with the swap from 250 six & manual trans to 350 & auto trans & steering column, I nearly doubled my "investment". Over the years I have installed new front & rear brakes, dropped spindles, dropped hangers, along with all new steering and suspension parts. Now I'm replacing the entire wiring harness.
I probably have $7000-$8000 total "invested" in a base truck that's worth maybe $5000. My buddies say it's a hobby, just like golf, where I shouldn't expect to get my money back. That does make me feel a little better -- I guess.
My 2 cents here is it may be a "hobby" to others, but just remember some people collect stamps and coins and ****.
Nothing wrong with that, and they very well may be valuable, but to the right person of course.
What I'm saying here is, you may have spent alot of money on your "hobby" but to the right person that hobby could be worth alot of money.
Not to mention the time you put into it. That's time you'll never pay for, no matter if someone else did it 10x better, it's YOUR time.
Special value in homemade projects IMO
My project I have I'd say I may easily have over 15k in right now and most people would think it to be ridiculous, useless, but no sweat, my build, not theirs, my money, not theirs.
Someone wants to drop 500$ on a collectable model car, by all means, just don't **** on my parade when I spend x amount on my project.

There's some serious lack of testosterone going on nowadays!
