[QUOTE="railroad, post: 16949808, member: 13485"] Then there's all the small options. What seats? What gauges? Heater or no heater? The choices seem endless. Build budget, I'm hoping to stay in the $60k range. The Factory 5 seats look period correct. They sit OK for long rides. A lot of guys are running high backs. You have to follow suit and use their experience for fitting them in the cockpit. Most kit builder use the Speed Hut gauge kit. They use a gps speedo and led back light gauges. Maybe not for the clock. They have a life time warranty. My oil pressure gauges started reading erroneously, easy swap. Their temp gauge may be Celsius, I had mine changed by them. A lot of guys north of Alabama do run heaters. Check your state for compliance, some require defroster, heater. $60K will be tight. If you can do body work and paint, might be doable. You can buy a Mustang IRS from salvage and save about 1K. The half shafts will not fit, too long. Diff, brakes, hubs all work. Some good nuts and bolts too. Factory 5 will delete the same from your order. Your are going to need at a minimum a room indoor car space. The body can be stored outside, but needs to be under cover, no contact. Lotsa guys hang them from the ceiling. Start reading threads on building. Some of it will not make sense, until it is hands on. Ask a lot of questions and post your final plans on the site. Feed back will save you time, money and do overs. Get power steering, you will never regret it. Need a quick answer, hit me up. Glad to help. [/QUOTE]
