I never count my time I put in. If I did I would loose my mind. For the budget, I need to see what I'll need to sell, what I really don't need to get, cheaper sources for parts (but not cheap parts), & material supplies. I know certain patches will be hand made & I should be able to get most stamped pieces at Lutty's in Cheswick, Pa. I still have to figure what I need for the exhaust & engine as this is where I've been focused on.
