    I really don't know how people afford projects like this nowadays. I wouldn't be surprised if there is 50k or more in that truck. And you know this isn't the daily driver. Owner's household probably has at least one or two car notes, mortgage, insurance, kids, groceries and whatever else and still has the disposable income to build something like this. I just don't get it.
