The plans are plans and appears very good, but they are not instructions and require you to connect the dots.

I like the way you put that. The plans are way better than nothing but leave a lot to be desired. The worst thing about them is his use of the autocad dimensions. Your will need lots of scratch paper to do the math and trig that should be on the plans. I am building a daytona coupe and have found several problems with the plans. I hope he has fixed the problems with the plans that i told him about.


I expect to do 700 to 1000 hrs a year on the coupe,

I think i spent about that amount of time doing research to make heads or tails out of his plans to be able to use them. So yes you will spend plenty of time connecting the dots. If you were to scratch build an airplane using plans there would be a 100 times more info in the plans for less money.

Are the plans worth the money? Yes because for the same money you could not come up with the info you get from him.

Here is the link to my build. scratch build
I have not worked on it in a long time.
