Decide what is important (authenticity/powertrain/color) and then go look at some existing cars. That will help you decide which car fits and whether or not you could achieve happiness with an already finished car. These cars are extremely individual expressions of an owner (like dual rollbars for instance) and some things can be more easily and affordably changed than other things.
I don't agree that I would feel safer in a car someone else built. Yep, all those bolts do run through my mind from time to time, but I gain comfort in knowing that if something comes apart, I know who to blame. There is an amazing amount of pride that comes from building your own car, both sitting in the garage when its done and blowing past 130 mph.
You want a big thump, buy a big engine.
