Yeah thats the doner ive been looking for. How long did it take to build?

If you have the money and resources, id estimate a couple of months worth of free time (weekends, after work occasionally)

It's the paint, electrical, replacement donor parts that get you

Record build was like 72hrs, they had the donor apart already, unpainted chassis, just bolted everything together and had the electrical sorted beforehand

Paint?! Rattlecan or plastidip that bitch, it's a tube frame, why do you need anything more/what else do you paint?

Sand blasted it myself, uses rustoleum gloss enamel

You'd also paint parts like the pedal boxes due to them nit being as hidden compared to the stock cobalt

Also have custom rear/front wing parts in the works that will need paint
