I went ahead and signed up for build school next weekend. I said why not only 4 hours away easy drive. Anyone else attending on this forum? The class was full then I notice there was 2 seats available so I grabbed one. I figured I can gain some knowledge and experience before my kit arrives.
I believe you made a wise decision. You will be happy you attended. Take lots of notes and photos!

I’m in Avon and am hoping to start my build next summer. Thinking of doing the build school in December. Would think it could be helpful to bounce ideas and issues off one another considering locality. I spend some time in Green as that’s where my wife is from.

I did the build school last January. It was great! Highly recommended, especially if you've never built a kit car before. +1 on taking lots of pictures and notes.

Did the build school last month and ordered my Roadster kit after getting home. It is well worth it! It helped me to have a list of questions typed up that I brought to ask the instructors since you get caught up in the activity of the build and may forget.

I took the class last month. It was well worth the time and money. The instructors were great and they were full of knowledge. They adapted well to the class and the questions from everyone helped us all learn more about what lays ahead. I ordered the complete kits when we returned; completed the body buck this weekend and waiting kit completion (scheduled for 12/26) and delivery (TBD)

I completed the class in May of 2019,Todd was our instructor. The class is worth every penny. My kit arrived in August of 2019 and was finished this last May. The class gave me the confidence that I could build this car.

My neighbor and I are attending this weekend. Looking forward to the nuggets of knowledge we'll receive and ideas as I finalize the kit list. See you there. Scott

In 2004 I took my wife and my three sons to the build school. My wife ended up shopping after the first day, we all learned a lot and had a good time. It worth attending!

For those of you going to the build school next month, you're more than welcome to stop by and take a look at my build. It's still in gelcoat, but you can see the build process at the school and one that is on the road, just not painted. I'm in Maumee, OH (outside of Toledo), so you have to pass nearby.
