OK, I've read this a little more carefully.

I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but someone has to say it. I'm sure others are thinking the same thing.

If you are so strapped for money that you can't afford to have the body mounted to the frame and have to wait to buy a steering column and wheels, I would say that the chances of a successful build are practically nil. Do yourself a favor and instead of buying pieces and parts over time, put the money into a savings account until you can afford a complete kit. Too many other things will happen in your life over the 5 or 6 years it will take you to pull all the pieces together, and I'd wager that in 3 or 4 years we'll see an uncompleted kit in the for sale section.

Whatever your decision, good luck.
