I have always done all of my own design, fabrication work, wiring, installation and so on. Regardless, I still have to buy some parts that I cannot manufacture in house. Even with the dealer discounts I get as an owner of a performance shop things still get expensive. Take some advice from a very experienced performance enthusiast as well as performance shop owner and don't spread yourself too thin here. Concentrate on whichever project you want to do more and go with only it until completion. If you tackle both in too close a timeframe you will likely run out of money before completing either one. That sure is not fun when you have two mean project vehicles half done and sitting in the garage for months at a time until you get enough money saved to complete them. Horsepower is not cheap, even if you do all your own work, metal fab, and machining.
