I have even used the term but I am really hating the words "Budget Build". I am going to start using terms like "Re-Ring" or "Refresh" just to get past the negative connotation. I had to edit my comments over here a couple of times because I was getting a little snarky about this one. theamcforum.com/forum/topic110001_post963912.html#963912

Yaknow everything has a “ budget” . If its rock bottom, just call it a salvage operation. Stickshifters forever project had a general scope of capital investment. So does jiffy jeff when he spends another 20 k looking for a couple thousandths of et. My junk 401 has a budget. Of course thats a joke now that i went with ahydtaulic roller cam but theres economy hidden in that investement somehow.

The term is relative for sure.
It's another Buzz word they love to use to appear cool.
like Pump Gas
Then he mentioned "the dark side"
That wasn't a bad term on Fran's EZ-Board forum 82 years ago, but quite worn out now. Hence why the AMC Collective never grows and gets left behind everyone else.

Right.. E85 is pump gas but not a whole lot of "daily drivers" are using it.

and shouldn't he have numbered his rods, instead of just laying them out in order on the floor?

What happens is we get bored and decide to play and think up an idea of something to do and then start talking about it. Sure lots of times is just kinda spontaneous ideas of taking junk we have and trying to make something out of nothing. And plenty of us dont wanna spend a bunch of money on time warped hobbies like old cars( which seems a bit ill concieved as cars have a habit of eating a lot of money) so theres your “ budget”... all the money you have, maybe not committed to paying bills and mortgages and stuff...is it stupid? Well yeah. I do it all the time. I have a lifetime of stupid.
