No, actually I think these kit rods and cars fill a very important niche' in the marketplace and provide some people who either don't have the tools and skills to build one from scratch, or who do not want to spend months and years building one with a means to get into driving a running car.

The TP car we are doing for my Son Don was a perfect example. Even though we ended up not using the TP frame, we still had a rolling chassis in 4 days. If we had used their frame it would have been one evening. For someone like Don it is perfect because he is now working 6 nights a week and doesn't have time to come over to the shop for months on end to build it. He has all the major parts sitting there waiting, including the engine and tranny, so all we have to do is some minor welding and then start assembling the car (after painting stuff, of course).

The plan is to wait until June or July, when his playing gigs should slow down, and then jump on it and try to have it running by November for the Turkey Run. It looks possible based on the simplicity of the car.
