Ever regret building a car?
Everyone always talks about "the one[s] that got away", i.e. the cars they've had and regretted selling--I'm just wondering who else has ever regretted building a car in the first place?

Hell no! It's had it's ups and downs, but I wouldn't change a thing.

There is none I regret building. You seem to forget everything that when wring after they are done and sorted out. I do regret selling them

I've got three cars sitting here that I built. I don't regret building them, as they are what I wanted. What I do regret is throwing thousands and thousands of dollars at them. Now that I'm thinking about selling, it has hit me hard that I will never get back anywhere near what I spent on building them. Although I knew that going in, reality is a bitch.

Yup, my infamous 1972 Trans Am in the mega thread. Seven years in body shop prison got me to the point where I got angry any time I opened the garage door after it was finally finished and thought about how many years I wasted letting a restoration shop not work on the car but bill me anyway. I had to sell the car eventually and move on to another project to clear the angry cloud from the garage.

No regrets building any of my cars which have ranged from VWs to Street Rods in the 90s to my passion, early 2nd Gen Camaros. I've learned a lot along the way, so my skills improve and each gets successively better. By the time I hit 90, I should have it down pat.
