I'm guessing that Steve really meant 18,000, as once to start to do 
one of these
cars "right" it costs HUGE.  You don't hear about this too often 
because there really
are very few people that have both the passion for our cars and the 
disposible income.
Like I've said before, I could have an awesome Porche based on what I've
spent...but so could anyone else. :)  I'm happy with what I've made.
