I've slightly banged on the frame several times....no chips! Seems to be baked on....and I know it's worth the $ to have them do it. Get the body bonded to the frame. Know exactly what you want for a dashboard layout....look at several dozen. .. and research your seats. Kirky's will have more side to side support.... ERA would probably cover them if you buy the frame...(with heat ?) Find them and ask to sit in them. Lastly....get you engine with all the v-groove pulley's on the front.....these things are a pain to line up. Everything else....goes together well. ... Just a warrning....everything about these cars defies monetary logic when doing your own build. Consider buying an existing car...and fix it to your liking. I've got 40K into it...and it's not running yet.... but for me... I would do the same. mike
