Ron is the Exception to the Rule LOL but honestly he has been building that car for what 6 years and it just gives you too much time to change things and there for drives the cost UP, ASk Ron
What's a resonable amount of time? I built my car in three years working for someone else. It's nowhere near some of the things that the pros build, but for two fat kids in suburbia- it's not junk either.
