Looking at building an A&C kit, any opinions ?

I just completed one over the Summer. I found it to be a reasonably priced kit and it is not a difficult build. I am sure that as with any kit there are some quirks and obstacles but nothing too difficult to figure out or overcome.

Take a look at my gallery where I have some pics of my build.

If you decide on the A&C Kit feel free to call on me for any help you may need.

I started my A&C build in 1998 and finished it in 2000. It went pretty smooth and I did not have any major problems. It has been on the road over three years now and I have about 18k miles on it. I have no regrets at all. The car runs great and handles great. I've had it out at Pocono for open track also.

The best part is the gelcoat body. I still have not painted it. This shot was taken at Watkins Glen this past Sept.

Mine took 15 months, 5 of which were waiting for the drivetrain. I did it singlehandedly. Sonny & Joe were always available to help. I especially liked the fact that I could receive the kit in three phases, thereby only using one side of my garage. Photos are in my gallery as well.
