Hello all!
In the next year or two, I plan to purchase one of these amazing replicas in either kit, partially assembled, or (possibly) completed form. I am just now starting to gather information about brands, prices, quality, and possibilities...
I am not too worried about the mechanical side of the assembly process, as I've turned plenty of wrenches in my lifetime. But, I am worried about running all over East Jesus trying to find donor parts...
Current plan in development favors a decent, inexpensive kit that requires 0 to 1 donor cars... I would like to see about dropping in a GM LS1 engine (which I hear has been done before) as I have quite a bit of recent experience with these on my last two vehicles. I may, in the interest of spreading out cost, buy/build a kit with a stock small block and worry about dropping in an LS1 at a later date.
I do plan to try and make it to some local (Austin area) meetings that you guys have so I can check out the differences in the available kits...but I am currently considering Lone Star or FFR.
Any input regarding registration, insurance, and possibly financing?
I welcome any advice or suggestions...
Thanks in advance,
Shane
