I commend your desire to build, the problem is the build may only be 10% of total ownership time. The other 90% of the time you have to live with YOUR build. Have you considered buying a SPF or BDR turnkey minus. Build your own motor up and install that will burn up some time. First time installer on a turnkey minus after engine is complete would take a miniumuim of 50 hours not including surfing the web everytime you have a question. The good news is the only thing you can mess up with a turnkey minus is the engine and trans install, not the paint, the finish, the interior, the suspension, the brakes etc.

Unless you are a painter I do not see how it is possible for you to build your own at the same price as a turnkey minus and get 80% the results. Go to the cobra meet and start looking at different builds including the wiring, dash layout, fit and finish.
