I know that it seems counter-intuitive, but Greg is right. Buying an already converted car is LESS money than building one yourself. Why? Because we have cars that only a few people in the world are willing to pay for. The demand is so low that GOOD conversions see a 50% sales price when compared to the money put into the car... and many of these conversions have no costs for labor (free) because the owners did the conversion.

So, if you want the biggest bang for your buck, buy a nice already-converted car. It is "instant" AND saves you money. Go figure. =)
