so the car was delivered
Im up in the air...these are my observations:

-The builder used a little too much wood for my comfort (Doors are supported by wood, Hood is wood,)
-Rear engine cover is wood..need to get the original fiberglass set up

I would like to post pictures but dont know how...Can someone PM me there cell number and ill send pictures and you can post for me.  I would like to here everyones take.

Better to build it yourself. Having someone else build it for you can get you into alot of trouble.  you may end up in this type of situation (see link below). Be cautious of scammers.

    The trans from a Camaro won't work if your chassis is mid engine. I also doubt the body would fit over the engine if it isn't. The 92 Z28 didn't come with a LS motor either. The LS is a great choice though. They can make some serious power. Don't over look the GM 3.8 l turbo or supercharged.
    I'm living a couple miles from Snooky if you are ever in the area and would like to collaborate.

Do you know the exact aesthetic differences?
The obvious differences are the rocker panel air vents are different and the front fascia is different which means the grilles are differnt too. The tail lights are also different. The rear grilles are different. Yours is a Mercy1. It's still a nice car of course but it was the Murcielago version from 2001-2006 and in 2007 the lp640 was released. The Mercy1 resembles the 01-06 Murcielago while the Mercy2 resembles the 07-10. may be off on those dates but it's the gist if it.

Also, those seats are nice but i don't know if i'd blow my load on them now, wait to see what you will need in the nearer future. Seen many a projects sold that included a bunch of extras b/c the builder ran out of money buying irrelevant things like badges and scripts and rims and stereos when they didn't even stretch the donor yet. Get that drivetrain in frst before you even start thinking about seats. Good luck.

Sorry, I do not know the specifics. Others may be able to help more with that. Just a quick look tells me the interior of the Mercy-1 is very inaccurate though.
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

a couple of mods and i can get them oem looking!

Yeah, it should be pretty easy.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MERCY-1 and MERCY-2 Build?

The Mercy-1 is $1,000 less expensive and from what I understand was less accurate:

The Mercy-2 is a newer and more accurate kit and it's price reflects that. However, even the Mercy-2 is very reasonably priced.

If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

They are pretty close to OEM and the price is right.
