Smile Kit?

it took me 28 months to build mine in my friend's garage. During that time I worked out of town for six months on two different occasions. If my friend had not called me on Friday to come over and work on my car on Saturday it would have taken a lot longer.
So many parts did not work together. I had to research a lot to find replacement parts. Mismatched pulleys, suspension parts, etc. I build my own motor which took a couple of months. A kit car is not a bunch of boxes with all the parts you need to bolt together with the help of a great manual to build a car.
I have worked on eight different brands and 16 different Cobras. None just bolt together and drive.

I laugh when someone ask if it's a Kit. I know what I thought years ago and what I know now. There are more like custom build cars.
