Know the real finish line
Make the whole build visible.
Your project does not become expensive because of one part. It becomes expensive when dozens of purchases, changes, returns, upgrades, and unfinished decisions stop being visible.
Track the money honestly
Keep purchases, refunds, returns, sales, credits, included-part value, and retained value separate and reconcilable.
Know what is blocking progress
Connect tasks, dependencies, fitment decisions, future purchases, and measurements so the next move is clear.
Purpose-built for project vehicles
Not another basic expense tracker.
The workbook connects the budget, parts, tasks, fitment, shop readiness, and build records that normally live in different notebooks, apps, receipts, and text threads.
Finish-line budgeting
Build the future plan once, then link purchases back to it so the remaining cost falls without double counting.

Questions builders ask
Straight answers before you buy.
The system is made for classic trucks generally. The example uses a fictionalized C10 restomod, but the structure works across makes, models, restoration styles, and long-term builds.
Does it calculate the final build cost?
It projects three finish-line scenarios using acquisition cash, actual net spending, and the future items you enter: Needs-Only, Current Planned Build, and Full Wish List.
Can it track returned or sold parts?
Yes. Returns, refunds, sales, credits, included-part value, and retained value are deliberately separated so the financial picture stays honest.
What program do I need?
Microsoft Excel is the supported editing environment. Other spreadsheet programs may alter features or formatting.
Does the workbook upload or store my photos?
No. It provides a recommended folder structure and an index for links to photos and documents stored in Google Drive or another service.
