JC, I think you are right. There are so many shows on TV now. However, people are so clueless, they have no idea what it would truly cost to do one of those projects they are watching on TV. They buy the shell for a ridicuous amount because they can "afford" 3-5k sounds great, then they start ordering stuff and it doesn't take long to realize that it is going to take some serious cash to actually finish the job. Little do they also realize how affordable a finished classic car is if they purchase one that is already or almost done. They would be better off taking out a loan for 20k and pay 200 per month opposed to buy a shell for 3-5k, trying to buy parts now and then, getting discouraged after a year or two then taking a loss. It's a vicious cycle basically. Bottom line, people just don't think these "projects" through before getting into them.
