My goodness, that has to be incredibly frustrating, to lay out that kind of $$ and get a car that for all intents and purposes is unusable.

There is only one "kit builder" type of business in the Houston area of which I am aware, and one person who specializes in the F5R products, but for those areas where the well known builders are located I bet there is a real need for a mechanic-type business where the focus is to inspect the car before delivery is taken and point out areas that need further attention while it is still in the hands of the builder...sort of like a building inspector, but focused on component cars.

Rest assured, though, something else WILL break...it's just the nature of these things, there is always SOMETHING that needs attention. For those of us who are mechanically inclined and enjoy fiddling around with these toys, that can be a source of joy, but when the issues require expensive attention by specialists (like mine, nobody can figure out why I have low beams and not high beams despite changing out the switch and both halogen bulbs) who charge $80/hr and take their sweet time it can get infuriatingly expensive, not to mention frustrating!

Good luck, George.....

Cheers!
