Naaah, any decent hotrod site where old guys like us are doing their own work out of love for the task. The real key is not that you're a five star metal fabricator, but more that you've been doing as much as you can for 30, 40 or 50 years. If you can pull a transmission out and replace a clutch then you can do 98% of anything that ever needs to be done on an Exact, ERA, KMS, SPF or FFR. And OTOH, if you're comfortable dropping Bugatti type repair costs regularly, then that's fine too. But you and I both know that it's pretty cheap to keep these cars running like a top if you just know how to do it.
