Cost of Obsession: A Moped Hobbyist Life

I thought it would be interesting to share the cost i incurred on my Puch Pinto Project.  I built this bike from scratch beginning with a primo find on Moped Army of an already powder coated frame, tank, and fork.  The goal of this build was a near show quality.  This is the cost of a moped hobbyist obsession:
