So, so true! I put hundreds into a AMF Hercules a couple of years back not counting my time and work. In the end I had a really nice working 3-speed that still looked rough cosmetically and was honestly too small for me. Wound up selling it for a whole lot less than even the parts I put in it. To be honest though, no regrets.
