Good call Dave and Mike,
I thought it was just a **** slinging match by OZCOBRA but it looks like it has settled down a bit. My build is simple. I Have thought about all ways to get a Cobra in my garage since 1988 when I first saw one. The opportunity arose though a mates misfortune and I was offered an unfinished or should I say a rolling chassis kit in 2003.
I knew nothing about building cars and less about bumpsteer, suspension geometry, correct shape,nothing, but I had a Cobra kit in my shed at long last. It is an Evans kit and has its faults but anything can be rectified along the way but after three and half years of building and three and a half of driving with a few track days and Shelby Fests and Nationals trouble free under it's belt, I am proud of what I have sitting here.
So Tone pick any kit and build it, whats right with one with be wrong with the other. The thing I wished I had would be able to contact the supplier but Evans had gone out of business when I started so that would be a big thing in my view. Go for it.
F#%k I sound like the JD's have cut in!
Cheers
