My defination of SCRATCH BUILDING is as follows:

Purchase necessary steel
Cut purchased steel
cut and or burn hand or fingers at least once
Weld steel
Fabricate brackets
read books,
Design suspension
Scratch head (alot)
Re design suspension
Talk to other scratch builders
Scratch head (again)
Re fabricate brackets
And so on and so on.. LOL

If I was going to purchase a frame and a box of suspension parts I would probably put a few more bucks with it and get a kit with all the correct engineering and parts for the whole car and be on the road enjoying the ride...

I heard somewhere that KMP was thinking about selling their car in stage kits. Now THAT would be the way to go. Build at your own pace as to what you can afford to purchase at that time and still end up with a really nice quality quality product.
