I may be missing the point, but I'm not seeing the logic here. Wouldn't it be more helpful to know how to make parts from scratch then how to modify them? I'm sure it varies which way is easier, but for most simple parts it will be easier to make from scratch. As far as time needed, the modifying may be quicker but making parts from scratch is much easier to learn to do. I might be completely wrong, but I think your looking at it the wrong way this time.
