Roger, 5 years is a long time to wait to enjoy anything. I am hoping to build this winter... and every night when I am up late looking at build sites on the net and on Club Cobra my wife asks me "Why don't you just buy a car? Why dou you have to build it?" My first answer is always "$" then I say cause then its really mine and when people ask "Is it real?" and I say "Nope, I built it!" all of the headaches and time I have invested will be worth it in that simple answer "I BUILT IT" I can't wait to have my first headache from my kit car "I'll post pictures"
So vent if you must, I usually throw a hammer. It helps, really it does.
