I'm not thrilled with the quality for the price on the one you posted. Personally, I'd not focus on just one brand, but instead a brand that wiull fit your particular specs. On this very forum, we have 6 foot 5 250lb individuals in ERA and SPF's, a few in modified FFR's (dropped footboxes, seats bolted to the floor), even a few Contemporarys. Perhaps you need to get out there a bit more and see what else is out there, more options and an open mind will help you achieve your goals. With that said:

I think you need to hook up with LVSAAC

No real organized group for Bucks County in regards to kit cars these days. One rather semi-organized group meets monthly in Chester, NJ (I used to drive out from Douglassville for this) at the ChesterHills Diner on RT206, just a few miles north of RT78. They have members with all makes and models, and all size owners who may be able to guide you for a proper fit....I do highly recommend this monthly (Sunday AM) breakfast group..... Dan R. (the head wingnut per his own admission) from the LVSAAC group usually organizes the group ride in from PA.

Finally, perhaps post in the Tri State Cobra club subgroup here:
Tri State Cobra Association - Club Cobra

It is a bit stale since I moved southwards, but perhaps you and a few others might just be the ones to re-energize it.

Hope you find this helpful.
