He is aware of the suspension upgrades, brakes, exhaust, and frame. I have never built anything myself like this, and nor has he. But with some tech help and advice, I still have some concerns. I don't want to screw this up, he's already got a lot of money on the table. I have brought up professional builder a few times, he really wants to build it, and I do too. Thought I would ask some of you for your advice.
I would say the very first tool I would buy would be a good dial bore gauge.
