Title: So you want to build a kit car?
Post by: lambobuilder on November 25, 2014, 05:57:09 PM: I had written a three part series answering most of the questions I had received on people wanting to build a kit car. I thought I would share here.
Part 1 http://lambobuilder.wordpress.com/2010/01/01/so-you-want-to-build-a-kit-car-part-1/ (http://lambobuilder.wordpress.com/2010/01/01/so-you-want-to-build-a-kit-car-part-1/)
Part 2 http://lambobuilder.wordpress.com/2010/01/03/49/ (http://lambobuilder.wordpress.com/2010/01/03/49/)
Part 3 http://lambobuilder.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/so-you-want-to-build-a-kit-car-part-3/ (http://lambobuilder.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/so-you-want-to-build-a-kit-car-part-3/)

"If I’m sitting in what is perceived to be a quarter of a million dollar car, why would I want to race someone? What do I need to prove to a high school student? If I don’t respond to the challenge, they will always wonder."

So well said, so true.

Only thing I would add is our forum on part 2 since we have so many new builds and builders here and seems to be more active. But very well said this needs to be a sticky on the top of the thread! Thank you for posting it.
