Yeah, I gotta say the initial cost and freight, is a drop in the ocean.
When I bought my CR, it was one of the more expensive kits (I havent done any price checks recently so not sure if it is still the case), but my completed price was a lot lower than other kits, also having the body already bonded together and parts swinging, made life alot easier.

I agree a body that is fitted and doors swung and boot / bonnet hinged is a big job that if done wrong can really ruin a good car. DRB also fit up all their panels.

For $1500 in freight I secured my RMC series 3 for that kind of money!  |

I have to admit, if I was on the East Coast I would be leaning to the CR, you must be so excited Beauies, I like that they use vinyl ester resin and wooven glass fibre.
All the photos of the CR's being delivered makes me real green with envy. |

In answer to SilverSmith,
The Chevy motor seems more compact then the Ford, the new Ford V8 is very wide and restricts legroom, and apparently we need to use the latest to comply with emissions regs, and I am also partial to Chevy.
I must have a look at the US suppliers, as shipping from there is not much more dearer then from the other side of Oz, and kit prices may be less expensive.
