Hey Scott welcome aboard. I am putting the finishing touches to my Unique this week. You need to come check it out. I will share what I learned and enlighten you as to what the cost will be. I did about 90% of the bulid by myself, all of the body work included. I had a buddy help with the paint (and Beer drinking). I will be working on the car every night this week and all day Sat. and part of Sunday.
If you go with Unique you can draw on what chill and I learned. Our cars were delivered together, he finished first but mine is faster and sounds better
his looks nicer but he is a waxer
Another Scott lives about a nile down the road and he is building a Shell Valley, you can check it out at the same time. About 3 miles in the other direction you can see the Kirkham TC just got (not that any of us can afford one)
