Thumbs up Unique Deluxe Pallet

Carl and Roadwarrior - Yes - I did build a Unique. Ordered in May last year and delivered the first weekend in Nov. Everything came as agreed and there were no back ordered parts. Generally order to delivery is about 4 - 5 months. It also helped that I purchased my stroker motor and transmission from Southern Automotive. They delivered the drive train to Gadsden and the Weavers dropped it into the car for me. Wheels/tires were also drop shipped to Gadsden so the car rolled out of the transport pretty compete.

A week later, I had all the sidepipes, windshield, master cylinders, quick jacks, lights, etc. dismanteled for painting and the body/chassis went to the paint shop. A week later, I brought the chassis back home and left the body on a paint skid to be painted. The body was painted came back home in early December and I was able to spend little time on the car during the holidays and really started devoting weekends to it starting New Years.

I would generally call Unique a couple of times a week and the Weavers were always helpful with my rookie build questions. Really good people and know their product and the kit car industry. On Feb 10th, I fired the engine and was driving a week later. It took me about a month to sort out some drive train issues, but I just passed 1,000 on the odometer last weekend and she runs great and I just had my first road course experience.
