Brill, you wont regret it :-) Best thing I did doing my 360 build, enjoyed it immensely. It also helps that DNA are just at the end of the phone if needed and they would be more than happy to complete your build if circumstances change. It's this reason that you wont find many unfinished DNA kits!!

hi mitnpix

good news buddy welcome to the family and im sure you will enjoy your build,make sure we see a build thread on here so we can keep an eye on your progress,

after seeing mine have you decided on colour (madman red) (steve grey) (tenpin blue) (beany yellow) (roland white) or maybe even a new colour

[mitnpix]

Hi Beemaman - I will hopefully get the kit in about 5 weeks or so and will take pictures for my own record of the build and if anyone is interested I will put some on here too.  Paint has been decided but will remain secret until it's acutally back from the paint shop. I did show you a picture of the colour, but hopefully you've forgotton 
First job will be to clear the garage ready - and then be able to keep it clear

Advise and shopping list needed please 
I collect my Cougar on Saturday, and given the reasonable price DNA charge to prep it for me it amkes sense for them to do it, and it's a fantastic excuse to go back and look at the cars they are currently working on.
What do I do in the mean time while waiting about 4~5 weeks for the kit... I want to be doing things already, and not just tidying the garage!

Are there bits I'm going to need that will only become apparent during the build.
If anyone can advise parts and where to get them from, all help is greatly appreciated... what size tek screws, fibre glass matting? resin?
What are the voltage regulator things for the indicators called, and where do I get them, are they for the front only?
God... there's so much to learn

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi buddy

Talk to DNA as most if the bits are in kit like voltage resistors.they will advise on screws etc.if it's going to a bodyshop they may do the matting for you?

Also tenpin has a great knowledge as he is completing one now.any others questions I'm sure someone will answer on here for you.

if your doing the 5cudo you can change the suspension while you wait for the kit to arrive, apart from that you will just have to wait for the kit :-)

[tenpin]

.... but the new suspension is part of the kit...
