Georgia Snake,
We Atlanta-area Cobra enthusiasts try to get together every month or two (weather permitting) for a Cobra luncheon. I will be planning a luncheon for this coming May (I'm shooting for the 18th). You should come and join us! Jason and Chip usually bring their Uniques and Greg might be able to attend with his FFR. Other marques usually represented include Superformance and Everett-Morrison.
I'll be posting a separate thread on this forum for the luncheon very shortly. Be sure to look for it.
Regarding the Unique vs. FFR question... well, take a look at my signature line. I really can't say enough nice things about the Weavers and their cars. I was happy with the following:
1. Quality - 100% hand-laid body, rectangular-tube chassis (very strong), overall fit & finish
2. Completeness - Their Deluxe Pallet Kit (DPK) was extrememly complete, requiring very little time, labor, and parts to get the car done and on the road. Powder-coated frame is standard, leather seats are standard, etc.
3. Referrals - I never found a single person that had a problem with the Weavers or with one of their cars. Despite talking to about 30 owners (including some who were in the act of
selling their cars). They ALL had excellent things to say.
4. Value - They're not the cheapest, but I wasn't looking for the cheapest. I was looking for value. I believe that they offer a very good value for the price. Their car's look is very close to the real thing and that's what I wanted. Their pricing is very competitive for what you get.
Have you considered who you will buy your engine from?
Keith
