I have a friend that built a DRB cobra...it is now my second Cobra ( I haven't finished mine yet) He is a meticulous cabinet maker but has no Idea about building / assembling a car. He convinced many people into doing bits for him and the result is obvious..they 'just' did it. He also paid people to do stuff and it cost him a fortune..a lot of that work was poor. I'm now redoing bits and pieces for him. Before you take on a task such as building car; make sure you have the patience and organizational resources to complete such a job. This bloke also built the car before consulting an engineer, then called one. That cost him a fortune. Like I said before talk to a signatory engineer first...they know !
Good luck with your endeavours. Make it work.
