Its interesting how the kitcar "customer" has changed over the years.

When Duttons and the likes were the norm no one would have dreamed of build agents. Part of the experience was to build it yourself.

Then came the Midas and Marcos and a few more were built by the factory but it was still understood that these were speciality cars and could not be directly compared to the main stream fit and finish.

But the new style customer pays for it to built and painted by a build agent and expects new car standards.
Many are then disappointed when after all that outlay they don't enjoy them as they drive similar to the donor vehicle which is an old car.
