Thank you all for the reply -

Clover - I have been debating going to the build school to get a more in depth look at what it takes. Seems like a good solid investment before purchasing a kit, or running away scared.... I do not plan on going to far of the beaten path and don't plan on any hardcore fab work. Luckily enough I have access to all sorts of tools I can borrow from my company (work for a mechanical company with a massive fab shop). Good to hear about the delivery I can make it work with jack stands, don't see the needed cost yet to get a lift or body cart as of right now. Saw some pics of edwardb's build on his coupe and saw he had the body on wheel dollies, kind of a good "light bulb" moment.

edwardb - If I end up going to the build school I will take you up on your offer if it fits in your schedule, hour away is no time whatsoever in Texas its like a drive to work... My wife is from New England and we usually end up flying into Boston. I have already mentioned to her that I would love to stop by the factory and get a tour, seems to be on board. Will also download a copy of the build manual to get better acclimated for the future.

dallas_ - Will try to make it out there, have a baptism I need to go to for my friends daughter not sure on the time yet. Hopefully I can make it and find someone with a coupe or in the process of building one.

GSides9 - Right now the kiddos are 4 and 1-1/2 (almost 2). Would like to get them involved in the build as well, just more of a show and tell. I think it is important for my boys to be able to take something on and use common sense to complete a task. Heck at age 7 I help pull the heads off an old truck. As for the A/C I don't think I can get a bigger capacity without having a larger condenser for the refrigerant, space seems tight right now just from pictures I have seen. I plan on utilizing lizard skin and dynamat to help with heat/sound deadening and possibly blocking off the area behind the seats so I am cooling less cubic feet (my mechanical engineering brain kicking in). Also planning on having side windows but have not found anyone who is doing a roll-up type yet.

John Dol - Yes!! Still waiting on the "Money Tree" to bear fruit or is it bare fruit.... Funny googled that some interesting results..
