Hey everyone I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on purchasing a kit. I’ll detail my build below. So I’m a younger guy located in Eastern Utah in a small town. I have limited knowledge and experience with cars, but I’m interested in learning. I figured this would be a great path to learn. I am running into an issue with the fiberglass and paint work. I have received 3 quotes, all around $15k to do the work. This is more than I had budgeted. So I’m now debating on getting a Factory Fiver builder to do a roller for me and I drop in the engine and transmission.
What would you suggest be my best route? I am looking for any resources or advice at this point. I definitely don’t want to cut corners on the body and paint portion. The small town definitely makes it a challenge ha.
Feel free to give and critique or advice on my suggested build:
