Skill level depends on your own plans. Do you plan to build the car yourself or simply maintain it once someone else builds it. 2nd, what do you plan to do with the car - serious track or casual cruiser. High Performance Motors, suspensions, etc. demand a lot more care (even when sitting in the garage), so if you're not racing it and don't want the added maintenance... And finally, just how many "extras" do you want to add to the car (power steering, air conditioning, fuel injection, etc.). The extras all require attention from time to time. I recall an ad for an Avanti which claimed you couldn't slip a dime into the engine compartment - sure made the mechanics happy when those cars came in for service.

Personally, I value not being left on the side of the road; particularly, with a car that might not be there when I come back with a tow truck.
