    I want to vote but there is not an "I built it for myself and I really like it and dont care about what people think about it" option. I have found that if I build a car for me, the way I like it then other people, or at the very least one other person, will like it. My Teg is fast and although it is not the cleanest car in IA it isnt too bad looks wise. I built it to show that the Single Cam can have potential and to see how my paint skills would look applied to a whole car. And on top, I two toned it to see if I could do it. Guess what? I like it. Nothing like a daily driver that runs 11's, gets good gas mileage and it is what I wanted to build.

    I can respect doing it all for yourself, but the principles still remain the same and it seems you'd be somewhat closer to 50/50...

    That is true. Back in the day, I didnt have the time to make it look good so it had to run good. Now, I can take some time to make it look more presentable (even good) and run good. I even painted the engine and trans in the Teg, something I couldnt even have thought of in the past. So I believe you are right 50/50. The difference is that since performance is more important to me, if it has to look good, or perform good. the perform good will win out. I will however go back and clean it up it when I get a chance. Good observation. Voted!
