Many people do not understand the time and effort to go from a "kit" pile of parts to a "real, finished car". In their mind it is a simple step with a couple of wrench turns. The reality is sobering.

Why are SO many kit cars advertised as "90 percent completed"???? Because the last 10 percent is the hard part! In the heyday of the industry people bought a Fiberfab and then had to figure out some way to hinge the door, make a window work, get some panels to come CLOSE to fitting, etc., etc. Every builder was a pre-beta tester.
