Insurance Issues
There are also some differences in definition between replica cars and kit cars. Some insurance companies might consider a replica car as being built by an actual auto company. Some view kit cars as those having been built by an individual or car club. Check with your insurance company to make certain how they would classify your automobile. It’s not a case of whether their perception is right or wrong but it is something you’ll want to know.
The Time Required
The time required to complete a kit car project can vary from between a month and many months.Your level of experience is key. If you’re an engineer and perhaps have experience as a machinist, mechanic, engine builder, tuner, suspension and exhaust tech, that will make your job much easier and faster. A lot of fabrication is required for most car kits and then the car must be plumbed, wired, trimmed and painted. Again, experience is key.
Nobody really considers a kit car project as a race against time. Doing a quality job is what is important. The time will vary upon your level of experience. Have you completed a car kit project before? Have you assisted someone else in a car kit project? If the answer is yes to both of these questions then you’ll probably complete it faster than someone who hasn’t.
Some who purchase car kits perform some of the work themselves and farm out more difficult aspects of the job to professional auto shops. A lot here depends on your budget. If you have access to professional support from either friends or from the kit supplier itself then you’ll most likely save time. One rule of thumb is that expect the project to take longer than the advertised time. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Your goal is to build a quality vehicle that you’ll enjoy driving so don’t look at it as a race against time.
