Assembly Required! Or turnkey?

Crossle,
I should have been more clear. It varies from builder to builder In regards to quality of build. But when it comes down 2 it, when trying to re-coupe your investment the buyer is going to scrutinize every aspect of the build. BiLL D. in Cali is doing a top rate job. I even supplied some parts for him to complete his build. But you can bet any less of the type of build will not warrent the same $$$. It is limitless to what we want to spend. But when it comes building a Cobra or a Gt40 why would you want to cheap out on anything. You already have a substantial investment. Again what i'm trying to clairify is if you are going to spend the money and build yourself a QUALITY car, It will be in the same a ball park price to a Turnkey.As for RCR I have only seen pictures. The quiliity looks good but yet are conviced
of the durability and performance. There is not 1 Gt40 on the road to give a clear unbiased opinion of the cars Fran built. Fran mentioned that he had reports of F1 Builders and others leaders in the industry that inspected his work. I emailed him for a copy.. he refused. WHY! I am trying to get as much data on his cars before I make a purchase. I was considering the Lola but those dreams are now gone! Fran Emailed me and stated that none will be available to me. So I inquired about the Mark IV. He has not responded yet. I would think that with important documentation from un-biased judges regarding the quility of the chassis would be on his web site. So since I have no hard data regarding RCR, I will just have to wait and see after the cars are on the road and tested. Recently ther were a threads regarding RF handling on the GT40 Forum. I fortunatly don't have any problems but was surprised of the problems some FOLKS were having with there RF. RF is a proven car with reports of a quility build. Even before I purchased I went and tested A RF. With the other Manfs, on the horizon it is hard to buy from what APPEARS to be a quality car but yet to be proven. No disrespect for the efforts but the data and a full mocked up car should be available to see. Not partially finished examples which I saw alot of at Carlise.
