From FAQ on website of
dragon kit cars

Q12: How long will it take to complete a Dragon Kit?

A12: Using our Basic Kit(Frame and Body) and after acquiring all the parts needed to fully build your Dragon, here's a rough time table for Kit Completion: You can completely build your Dragon to "go-kart" stage and drop your finished body onto the drivable chassis. I'd give the body guys a week to get the car painted. My feeling is, when all parts are accumulated and in "ready-to-install" condition(after the C-4 Donor suspension parts have been cleaned and rebuilt) you will spend 1 day laying out & shaping your tail-light, hood vents, gas-cap, roll-bar and dashboard instrument cutouts, 1 day under-coating, 1 day installing suspension, 1 day installing engine/clutch/transmission, 1 day plumbing brakes and hydraulics, 2 days connecting radiator and finishing out engine compartment, 1 day for fuel-cell and fuel line installation, 1 day for windshield installation, 2 days wiring, 2 days doing carpet/interior, a lifetime of driving.


Yea, right!

Cheers

Sounds about right - you too could do it if you spent less time posting here
(only kidding )

Joking aside, I think you could do it that quickly IF you did'nt have to build bit's from scratch or think about how to do it! I would think you could build a Westfield that quickly if you really wanted to (might not be the best job mind!) as most of it is a bolt together job with instructions.

But what are the chances of it's not being a bolt together well thought out package.........

Well I tried building my Locost in a week. Minimum two people on the build for 9-6, 7 days....

Got it so that I could drive it round the car-park but that was about it....

The rest took 4 years

If it had been blue, I would have said it was one of Mr. Whippy's.

If you could work 24 hours a day on the car like nitram then ik could be possible
