Sorry for the re-post. I put it in the wrong section.
Complete kit arrived 3/7/13. After receiving help from a few friends and this forum my car was finished on 7/4/13.
Engine Factory 350 HP 302, T5, Moser rear end.
It has been a great experience! My 10 year old son wants to build a coupe next.

Very nice job, and only four months to completion! Take some more "bonding" time on the coupe.

If I can ask a crude question... Since this is the most recent build posted and because I love how you did your build, do you have a grand total of the build and do you mind saying what it was?

I was fortunate enough to be able to spend most of my time on the build. The build took approximately 225 man hours. The body work and paint were sent out to a local shop. They had an additional 150 hours in body and paint.

Nice job on getting it done so quickly. Took me over 3 years (and 3 women). LOL

Awesome job on the car. You and your son should be extremely proud! I hope this is just the first build, and you move on to that coupe straight away. You deserve to spend some more time bonding, and we need some more time drooling!
Great work!!
Regards,
Steve

Wow wow wow. Dude, how did you find the time & still keep a job? I got mine 2 years ago... I just barely put the engine in.
