A Cobra is a good project for someone with 10 or more years of car crafting/hot rodding experience under his belt. Has built and changed engines, installed transmissions and brakes. Knows electrical wiring and automotive circuits. Has a thorough understanding of the subsystems of what makes up an automobile. It is not a project for a beginner.

HORSE POOP!! Ya gotta start somewhere. Here's my first "hot rod". I changed the spark plugs and points on my 66 VW a few times and even rebuilt a Briggs & Stratton 3HP... right down to that double lobe lumpy cam!
I've recieved a few trophies already and even a best-of-show at the manufacturers open house. (it's been on the road for about four months and almost 6000 miles. Give me some time and I'll rake in some more) Built it myself. Here's what a beginner can do with "junk mustang parts"...LOL!!!!
