Much cheaper to buy one already built - probably at least $10-$20k cheaper.

There are several great options on this list already and I'm sure you would be very satisfied with any one of these. Additionally, I can give a personal recommendation for Jeff Collins at Whitby Motorcars.

There is a lot to be said when you can proudly say "I built that car" People will be really impressed.
