Researching Kits

[Thoroughbred]

Thanks for all of your input. I think I am leaning towards Unique for many reasons like quality, ease of build and support for Clevelands. I am still intrigued by Shell Valley, as I have heard many good things about them. I have spoken to Dana and have one of their build manuals. This is where I am not sure if this is too complex of a build. Some of it seems straight forward and some of it seems confusing. Is it is just the manual that makes it seem this way? Is it actually easier when the parts are in front of you? Some parts of the manual talk about some welding and fabrication that may be beyond my skills. Any of you that have built a Shell Valley please chime in. Any of you that have built a Unique chime in too.

It's not as intimidating as what you think. The Shell Valley cars are well designed and pretty easy to assemble.

They have updated a lot of things since I bought my first one back in 2003. There is going to be an IRS option, the dash panel is now removable, etc.

Of course Unique is a very good brand as well and the Weavers will absolutely treat you right.
