I am starting to seriously consider my first duece build. I have a few generic questions. I plan on doing all of the work myself, with the exception of paint which will be by a friend. I am looking to build a low budget driver, something to have fun with.

1. What is a good starting budget (again, I am on a limited budget)?
2. I am considering trying to start with a rolling chassis instead of a full build, only because of a new baby ariving soon and limited time. How much more will this cost?
3. How much time will the rolling chassis save me?
4. Any other points to consider, please feel free to jump in.
