I have been keeping a spreadsheet of all my build costs and plans for a while now and figured I would post up a template/example of it for anyone else to use if they like. It has really helped me keep track of things over the years.

Also, any input on how to make it better/more useful is welcome as well.

Here are a couple of screenshots showing what mine looks like. The actual spreadsheet is attached in a zipped folder.

Yeah...I guess I should have included a disclaimer..."Using this tool may cause heart attacks, seizures, or spontaneous combustion"

you can take it one step more and turn it into a Gantt chart (which I do).

That way you can focus on what you need to do first and work to your critical path.

I don't know how I would even go back and begin to figure out how much money I've lost just buying things new and selling them at a loss (Still brand new) when times got tough. That would probably be my most expensive column. lol

But, I think I will attempt to replicate something like this by the end of my build. As I actually document everything I end up with in the vehicle.

This is how I did mine as comments above. I use Gant charts for work and hat hitting stall points once I get the time to work on the car (so I plan and pre-purchase as much as I can)
