Well I have heard some strange questions in my time, but this must rank up there with the "doozies Huh", like,..."how long is a piece of string!" really, but there you go, however, in case its any use, I have been building a 3 wheeler, pre war Morgan type vehicle, for the past 3years+, and still a way to go, however it depends a great deal on how much you purchase already done!....Morrag

It's just a bit of fun, I know as well as anyone that it really will take twice as long and twice as much money as you think plus an additional percentage that depends on whether you want to spend more of the time part or more of the cash part to get finished!

"How long is a piece of string"? It depends, is it along piece  or short piece.

A hotrod? Don't do it! That ways lies bankruptcy, divorce & the slow descent into madness  Tongue
I've just spent the evening sitting in the cab of mine outside Loony's workshop, with just the cat for company, clutching a 2" square of wet n dry paper, rubbing filler down till it was too dark to see what I was doing. My advice -take up fishing instead.  Tongue

Oh no, string theory!. I heard the whole universe was one big piece of string going back and forth in time. Therefore it will take a universe of time to do anything.  Which fits my personal experience.
