Paintwerks, the only parts that aren't brand new on a Harrison are the lower front control arms, crossmember and rack (reconditioned), rear suspension and steering column. A $12,000 paint job down here in Melbourne would include all body prep including adjustments to front guards to correct any alignment issues - with change to spare (I'm going through the process now), so there's no risk of messing up the body work yourself on that budget.

All of that aside, I chose my kit because it looked "right" to me (some don't) and because there were 70+ others driving around out there, many of them local. That's a huge plus when you're going in with limited experience.

No doubt the A/P body looks sensational out of the mold, the alloy chassis is very unique and I hope they get a ton of orders - but we don't know what they're like to build and engineer at this point in time.
