Shop Build Rides

[DOOM]

All I have to say on this is DO NOT SEND YOUR BUILD TO A BODY/COLLISION SHOP!!! There is a reason my car is at BBT and not my own shop. I can go on and on about this but I can tell you this if its a busy shop your car will never be a priority . You are asking for trouble. Find a good RESTORATION/FAB SHOP to do your work .

Great thread should be a sticky on how to pick a builder for sure.

Unless you have a large budget and a lot of time or want something unique I wouldn't bother. Look for a car that you can buy and enjoy immediately. My car has been in process for more years than I want to admit. The car is a complete build rotisserie job that started in 2004. The last piece of the build, interior and electrical, is said to be completed in 2 weeks but it has been at that shop for 18 months. Prior to this many delays were due to me changing my mind, etc. A lot has changed in 10 years so my car will be a dated in terms of technology. When I started I had everything DSE offered but that was before the quadralink and hydroformed subframe even existed. The work is very good but it has taken a toll on my patience and a lot has changed in my life since the start of the build to the point that I really don't even feel like I want the car anymore. January 2012 I bought a completed car from this site for a fraction of the cost of my build that I was able to enjoy as soon as I got it home.
