Builds

There is a circle of life in the builder's garage. It starts as a body on blocks running on nothing but a dream, or a lucky find with low miles and potential. First it is a vision, then a work in progress, and that is where builders become magicians: solving problems, adding horsepower, hunting rare parts. All of it culminates in the cruise phase, where the project is never done but it is finally usable.

Many do, including wheel and tire specs, suspension choices, lighting, storage, and recovery gear. The depth varies by article. Where a builder made an unusual or contested choice, the article usually explains the reasoning rather than just listing the part.

The Garage describes it as a cycle: the vision, the work in progress where problems get solved and parts get hunted, then the cruise phase where the vehicle is finally usable and enjoyable even though it is never truly finished. For some builders the cycle ends in selling out and starting again.
