You mean you plan on finishing one? Mine are never finished. They are always getting upgraded, faster lighter, cleaner, etc.

how long depends on how much cash you have to spend on it and the time it takes to do it.

But then again its never finished ;D

What ever you "think" it will cost, double it!

I'd say average joe build is 2.5 to 6 years. Manley cause of $ and how long other people have your car. I will let you know when I'm done.
