i was wondering if any vetrians of kitcars could tell me how hard it is to actually build one

Takes years and you must have good common sense and mechanical skills. If you are a young guy, you better be sure you have the skills and $$$$. If you are a married man, you better be sure you have a patient, loving wife and a $$$$$.

never ever, ever! start without the right amount of cash, there's nothing more embarrasing than building your own custom car and not having the money to do it properly. Also be sure what you want first, in my opinion, always start with the wheels, then body kit, then anyting else you want, just be sure you have the time and the cash. Hope that helps!
