It's fine, I get your reasoning... but there is a reverse discrimination that exists and there's no sense fueling that fire. There are plenty of BDR and SPF owners (Kirkham, ERA, etc.) that posses the talent to build a car but not the time. Or the money they can make in that time far exceeds the return.

What makes a kit car economical is providing your time/labor at no cost. Once you factor in your time as money (for some people its a lot more than others) the value goes completely out the window.

We serviced a FFR for a local customer, you almost feel guilty billing them the actual time the labor on them costs ... but the "cheap" factor was removed when he started paying us to do it. That's reality.

Give respect, get respect.
