Red face I wanted it perfect, and I wanted it for this summer

I could have done the work, but there would have been many unexpected (or expected?) problems/delays in the build up, and it would have been really tough to see another summer slip away while I was under a kit, working on it. I bet there are a lot of frustrated moments (days?) in the build. Many if not most guys build their own to save bucks, but I decided this time money would not figure in it, I wanted the most awesome cobra, with many extras, and on time. Besides, the manufacturer knows WAY more about the car and the extra goodies than almost any of us lowly *civilians*, so it should come out more polished and tight

Which is not to say that some day I would not build a 289FIA, but then I may just buy it as a turnkey too :
