I do understand what you are thinking. I am selling my twin turbo car for $14,000 and I have about $80,000 in labor in it. (but I did all the work and charged myself $50/hr.)
I'll even throw in ALL my Buick parts with it. I had to really think hard about selling something that I have literally spent 20 years making. Time for me to move on. The Turbo Regals have been fun, and I still like 'em, BUT.......They are getting boring for me. They sound funny, and they CAN'T make 1800+ hp. period. Time for me to move (location) and move on. Leaving the area and the passion. I'll still work on them, but for myself, I will step UP to a V8. Good luck with your next passion. Don't look back. My dad sold a '69 Boss 429 for 11K back in 1980, and yesterday I saw one on Barett Jackass go for $168,000. I wonder if he cringed when he saw that? Probalby not. He more than doubled his money on it in just 1.5 years. He has also sold '55 T-birds for $1500 and Shelby's, too. They are JUST A CAR!!! Nothing more than a hunk of sheet metal that someone thinks is worth $500,000.
You can't eat a Buick. (but you CAN get SCREWED by one.
