RE: Just bought a replica H1
my question is, why? the amount of money that you are tossing into this could have already amounted to a used H1, which at least will provide some return of investment aftewards if you decide to sell.

RE: Just bought a replica H1
What is costs to service, maintain and fuel a real H1 is a lot compared to this. I have spent about $13k so far in this project. I bought it 80% done and am finishing it up. I fabricate mostly all the metal partsI need myself and do what I can. There is reallynothing like working on a car yourself and seeing the final product after going through all the steps. Eventhough I didn't start this from scratch, it's a foot in for my next kit that I want to do.
I'll turn around probably break even if I need to sell it. Even make something off of it. Working with my dad on this has been the best thing I've done.

Anyways, as long as you are doing it for the passion and not just to have an "H1" then I guess it's good enough for me.
