Joseph,
If this Sung is a FRIEND, do him a big favor and go over the math carefully - build versus buy.
Generally, if an individual wants to involve HIMSELF in the cutting and grinding and welding and purchasing and wrenching and adjusting involved in prepping a racer, we suggest he BUILD a car. In that way, he is intimately familiar with the entire development, and is also paying for his education along the way.
However, if he is having someone else do the work, neither the economics nor the education is there. In this scenario, it will ALWAYS be more beneficial to BUY a well prepared car. As long as the build was done to spec, and the modifications were made properly, he will save himself a bundle, and spend time on the track - not in the garage!
