I would like to purchase a kit, use my donor car and spend no more than 10,xxx dollars. I in NO way will be financing any bit of this. I don't understand financing money to pay for a "toy" I figure that quite a large percentage of the build can be done using the kit and my donor car. I do not really have a time frame in mind either...If I order a kit and it takes me 3-4 years to complete it after receiving the kit thats fine...

I am moving to South Carolina in December where I will be starting a new career / new life and hope to live there for quite some time. In a few years start visiting companies..

From what I have seen. The research I have done over the past years before joining here, I like the Factory Five kits. I am not wanting to build a race car. I want to build an "all around' car. Something I can drive in pretty weather. Maybe go play at a test and tune night at the drag strip as well as maybe some parking lot auto cross.. MAYBE even some open track stuff later on..Mostly the car will be for cruising, some shows, friday night jaunts to the Dairy Queen etc.

I don't have a problem buying a kit someone has purchased and maybe lost interest in ( I cant imagine that happens much ) and did not finish. Something along those lines is ok with me. I do NOT want to buy a kit that is ready minus motor trans and rear end. Thats just not me. I enjoy building cars as much if not more than driving them.
