Having built/worked on over 30 GTMs now, I'd say the biggest differences between the SL-C and GTM is going to be upfront cost of the kits and the time/effort required to complete. For the SL-C, you are going to pay more in kit and parts and it will take less work to complete. For the GTM, you are going to pay less for the kit and parts, but there is a significant amount of bodywork required to get it to look good. If you are doing all of the work yourself, I would say you could build a really nice GTM for $60-$70k. Yes, you can still get a GTM kit from FFR......but there are active discussions by FFR on whether or not the new F9 "flagship" is going to be an "additional" kit from FFR, or if it will replace the GTM. I don't believe that decision has been made yet.

Really, it’s going to take work to plan this all out.As you mention, one can build a kit nicely for ~$50k, but what’s that finished product going to look like?

For a GTM build I would say closer to $60k...and it's going to look like just what you make it look like. As I tell all of my customers, whether they have me do a $105k straight donor build or a $150k build with all of the bells and whistles, the parts that you see are going to get the same attention to detail. If you are doing the work yourself, the end result is directly up to you, and 95% of "what it's going to look like" is a result of time and effort and attention to detail.....not money.
