📍 Forest, Virginia | ⏱️ Build Time: 14 months | 💰 Est. Cost: $2,100
Builder’s Story: “I purchased Lee’s CDO plans back in 2012 and never looked back. The plans are clearly written, easy to work from, and gave me the freedom to incorporate my own ideas. This build has taken me to over 30 car shows and won ‘Best in Class’ twice. It’s been a labor of love that my grandkids now enjoy riding in at parades.”
📍 Marshfield, Missouri | ⏱️ Build Time: 11 months | 💰 Est. Cost: $1,850
Builder’s Story: “I was amazed by the attention to detail in the plans. As a first-time builder, I appreciated how Lee broke down every step. This car has become the centerpiece of our town’s annual Heritage Days parade. Strangers stop me everywhere asking about it!”
📍 Portland, Oregon | ⏱️ Build Time: 8 months | 💰 Est. Cost: $1,400
Builder’s Story: “This was our father-daughter project. Sarah was 16 when we started, and now at 18, she drives it to car shows herself. The speedster plans were perfect for our skill level, and the quick build time kept us motivated throughout.”
