Hello Gents!
Thank you in advance for reading my post. I live here in Texas, but before folks start holding that against me, please know that I am a genuine GT40 lover of the highest order. It is my dream to build and own one someday, so now the task of researching what I am getting myself into has started. If everyone will permit me, I have some questions below that will get me started. Some of them might even be good ones!
1) If one chose to do a basic level kit with minimum amount of items included, do the balance of items needed to complete the car have to come from the kit company? For example fuel pumps, servos, brake masters, windshield wiper motors, head lights, etc etc.
2) If the answer to question #1 is no, does anyone have any experience taking this route that could give some advice on how to proceed? It is unfair to expect the OEMs to give me a straight answer as they are in the business of selling parts. I don't hold that against them.
3) I want to build the car myself, so on a scale of 1-10, 1 being the easiest, can someone rate the different manufacturers based on build difficulty?
I think it is important to note, that I am not too interested in what the car is worth once completed. I do not intend to ever sell it. As a matter of fact, my will states that all of my worldly possessions are to be burned along with me when I die Viking style! However, I do not want it to be cheap either.
Again, thanks to everyone for giving me the help!
