They should more than look. They should take the advice. If your goal is to drive a cobra buy one already finished and broken in. If you love fabrication then by all means get a kit but recall there are other kits that won't burn your brain anything like a cobra. It has no straight lines or anything close to a flat surface. If you still insist on a kit get a new modern one from one of the reputable current manufacturers, avoid kits that have been stored in a garage since the manufacturer probably isn't in business any more and chances are high that the pile of parts on the garage floor has been owned by three people all of them gave up because of missing parts that can't be obtained any more (great if it isn't the case, but unlikely and you won't know until you've already passed GO and then it'll sit on your garage floor waiting for you to sell it to someone else.)
