With the exception of the Kirkham cars, I think it is safe to say you will be working with a composite body. Air tools are the nut.

And, Yes! Air tools make building the engine easier. However I use a torque wrench on just about everything on the engine and trans.

I would like to suggest that although this is not a bad idea, asking what we all have or had to build our cars, you might want to just get a project going and see what you will need.

Then, when the next person comes along and asks what do you need to start, you will be the first member to say, "Hey you should start out with a ... "

Personally, the car sat for soo long on jack-stands I thought there were part of the car. LOL

All of these guys are suggesting items you will probably end up with.

You are are going to get an education about the quality of tools when you start your car. Rick is 100% corrrect about "Good tools are worth the money." He is not kidding.

Just my $0.04 ( I spent a little extra ) LOL
