Kacee you can build it, but how it turns out depends on your willingness to commit to the project.
800 hrs to build it is very low in my opinion, I have around 2000 hrs and others have broken the 3000 hr mark. $10,000 in 2006 is wishful thinking, $20,000 and up is probably closer to reality but that depends how much fabrication you do as opposed to going with premolded parts etc. I did not have dual as there were none in the area I was aware of, just get the feel of it on the ground 1st to build your confidence and ask questions on the KR net.
