I agree totally with Paulo. Having your supplier nearby you is worth a lot. I also agree that the assembly is the most important thing about getting the finish.

I am building the GOX replica and I have seen both the prototype monocoque and the new lasercut panels for the "serialproduced version" which are absolutely gorgeous in its finish which also means a pressed steel roof. The new monocoque is absolutely accurate to FAV drawings which I have now seen!!

I would by the monocoque from Göran and then hire a professional builder to do the job and the concentrate me on providing him with the correct parts. I you are serious with your intentions money should not be an issue in this case. Otherwise I think you can forget it. I would allocate at least 150.000 -200.000€ for this project if it is outsourced to a professional builder.
