Re: How Hard is it?

I can't speak for other makes since my experience in building "kit cars" is solely with the RF40.

You need to have some basic manual skills and a commitment to complete the job. If you're OK with doing things such as replacing a gearbox or fixing a brake problem etc, then you should be OK with this too. Factor in some money for some new tools and then away you go.

I've built my car with little more than the average "home-hack's" toolset - the most sophistcated tool being a power drill and jig-saw. Better tools always make the job easier, but aren't essential. Some important holes are pre-drilled but most aren't. A hint... get yourself a good file set for those final touches.

The manual is excelent, with lots of pictures, and there's always the manufacturer who is enthusiastic when it comes to help.
