I would definately get someone experienced, and if you work with a manufacturer with a turn key option; just do it.
SPF certainly has a great reputation. I like the Shell Valley and the very solid body that comes from their Kevlar option; strong chassis if you are going to do a big block. Not an unmanageable drive out of Mpls.
I went through a number of mechanics after failing to take advantage of the turn key option and just having Shell Valley finish mine. I did finally end up with a mechanic who is very reasonable and has done a couple very nice cobras and other replicas. He used to work as a mechanic for racing teams out of BIR, the Paul Newman crowd et al.
I'd be happy to refer you to him. He is very meticulous. But if you can do it turn key, I'd say go for it.

Jahred, I could not help but notice your location. I am wondering what you think of the Mayor, Mr. Gridley? A colorful guy to say the least.
