Like many others, I'm currently in the window shopping phase. I have some experience with restoring cars but I am certainly not an automotive wizard. A few questions:
1. Exactly how hard is this thing to build? Time?
2. Anyone owners/builders in the central Texas area I could visit with?
3. Does anyone have experience with getting it registered in TX? Is it a '65 or an '06 (emissions, etc.)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I can only address #1. The "easy to build" aspect was the ONLY disappointment I had with mine. It was TOO easy! I am retired and I figured this project would keep me busy for a long time. As it was, it went together so easily and quickly that I had a running car before I knew it. I figured about 160 hours into the build, not including bodywork. And that includes building my own engine. I think if a guy would buy a crate engine and have a bodyman with the right schedule. you could build your own in less than a month if you really put your mind to it.
Hi,
I can't help on the registration part,
