Miscellaneous -
One can't imagine how all the little things add up unless you actually track each purchase and then look back at all of them.  Never in a million years would I have imagined that I would spend over $3500 on things like paint, adhesives, chemicals, sanding and stripping supplies, electrical supplies, specialty tools, hoses, and fasteners.  Eastwood paints and chemicals ain't cheap that's for sure.  Also, since I basically replaced 95% of the nuts and bolts on the car, and 80% of the ones I purchased were stainless steel which are typically cost 3 times more than a normal fastener, the nuts and bolts costs ran exceptionally high.  The following list makes me laugh and cry at the same time.  Scroll down and checkout the total.
