what are you building?
The locost concept is that its built from a pile of steel. At least thats what the book promotes.
Then there are those that get a little leap forward by buying a chassis.
And those that go off at a tangent. Silly people.
I just wonder what proportion of the site is doing what....
this counts for cars in progress and finished.
if I havnt included an option, just post it.

Multiple polls for accuracy?
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy...

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

And yet another, either this proves that a lot of people on here are scratch building or that scratch building attracts the sort of person who like
answering polls!

i modded the poll 4 times.......kept thinking of stuff.
However, the front page index shows each time you created it even if you delete.
deleted posts get knocked off your count. my total is real. not thats anything to shout about.......

Do I get rated 1st cheat?
Is it socially acceptable to pray on some other buggers financial misfortune and relieve him of a minty tig'd race chassis?
Damn right!

I would say I'm assembling a Stuart Taylor kit rather then building something . To start with a pile of steel and a book would be way beyond
my skill level.

I bought a CMC chassis for two reasons, first it's already homolgated for racing here in the States in SCCA SoloII and second because I'm
a lazy bastard.

Sideways; welcome to builderdom, feels like losing the stabiliser wheels doesn't it?

Building from scratch is way beyond my current skill level too.
But that aint gonna stop me.
Run the poll again in 6 months and I'll be clicking on the 'purist' button, not the 'waiting to start' one.
Might build one of ron's buggies first for practice.
