Completely clueless in Utah

We pledge our help in advance. The ultimate decision is yours, and I believe most of us are willing to overlook some hassles with our projects because of the huge payoff in "fun factor." These little cars are an absolute blast!

These cars are simple. If you undertake a car project, this will have the most basic suspension, frame, drivetrain, body, wiring and accessory combo of just about anything that can be driven on the street. The issues you run into can range from simple repairs to major rework, but the end result is still a simple car.
Consider it a small 2 room cottage. You still have a roof, exterior walls, wiring and plumbing, interior walls, floor and basic appliances, so you will need to be able to work on each of those. But the amount of work is less than the same work on a 3Br 2Ba split level.
I'd suggest watching the series this guy did.

He covered the whole build, driving it and repairs. He made some mistakes but was willing to show it, warts and all.
If you find yourself overwhelmed, do more research.
If you yell at him as he does things wrong, you are ready.
