Correct if you get the wrong kit. Mostly incorrect if you get the right one.

I say mostly because you do have some very good points, but, with the right kit things are manageable. I got this one...

I bought the complete kit (b/c I didn't have a donor Mustang), wheels, rear brakes, and the Moser rear end from Factory Five. It includes EVERYTHING I will need except tires, engine, transmission, paint and little consumables like silicone sealer, etc. The body is 2 piece fiberglass ready to bolt on. It will require a LOT of finish work before painting though.

No significantly special tools are required.

You are dead on about the time. At my current rate the completion date is 1st quarter 3945!

The finish work and paint job will be the most expensive part not included with the kit. I hope I can get a decent one for $6k. Total driveout will hopefully be < $37k USD.
