First and foremost, welcome!
I was faced with the same question over two years ago. I was really close to buying a FFR, BDR roller or BDR - Turn Key. What it really came down to is with my job building would also mean no life until it was done. I am the type if I have a project I cannot leave it alone until it's done. I saw that building what I wanted would be in the neighborhood of 45k, buying a Turn Key would be at least 50k minimum. With the current state of the economy, I saw there was many very nice Cobras with low miles for sale at 10-15k less than building without considering state sales tax. I was fortunate by finding a car (the same color scheme I envisioned). I was enjoying ownership within a week and spend my time driving my Mustangs and Cobra. Although I do understand the satisfaction of building it yourself your way. Nevertheless, at the point in time with my job and the amount of free time it was a good choice for me. Of course, if it were not for my job I would never be Cobra shopping anyway. Maybe in 10 years when I think I will be able to retire I will consider building a car.
This is just my $0.02 to help you consider buying an option.
Good Luck!
