Good thread, Dave, the biggest cost in Scratchbuilding is the wheels, tires and gears. Correct that, the tires are cheap, and there is nothing wrong with plastic wheels and gears if the car is just for fun. What I often do is build with the plastic ones with the view to replace with fancy when I can afford to.
For the past two years I have only gotten two RTR cars, and they were both prizes. I have probably built two dozen or more cars in that time.
Go for it!
