Newbie with newbie question

Eric, if you can buy an existing class car or existing roller. I’m building one from scratch and it’s probably running 30% to 40% more that way. Everything is costing more than you think it should. The other BIG problem is supply chain, I can’t get parts in a timely manner nor can I get work that I can not do such as paint, done in a reasonable time.
A lot of guys on here mentioned not to build from scratch, maybe I should have listened!
I built a super-street car from scratch and a super-gas car from a roller so I thought I could tackle a class car. It’s become a humbling process.
