Redbird,
One more thing I forgot to mention is how quickly these cars go together. I ordered just the basic assembly with the body bonded to the frame. I did have it painted by Connecticut Customs. I received my car in Mid-December and I'm just now finishing it up. And I didn't spend long hours working on it. I worked on it for maybe an hour or two after work 2 or 3 nights a week and maybe a total of 6 hours over the course of most weekends. That still gave me plenty of time to spend with my gf, my son and on the golf course. Of course that doesn't count the time I invested building the motor or the rearend before the car arrived. Non the less, I think 5 months from the day of delivery to first drive is fantastic. And I love being able to say "I builit it" instead of "I bought it."
