It was sometime around 1981, I started hearing things about an Arntz Cobra Kit, so I sent away for some literature. It said I would need to find a Jag rear end and MG spindles etc, etc, at a junk yard. I later lost interest in the whole project. 10-12 yrs. later, I picked up a Kit Car magizine and saw an ad by Everett-Morrison that had Corvette suspension, I thought, now you're talking! If I were ever to build a Cobra, that's the suspension to have. As it turned out, for the next 7 or so yrs. I never gave much more serious thoughts about building a Cobra until I attended SEMA '99 Show.
A few weeks after the show, I received a video from some company called FACTORY FIVE RACING. I honestly could not remember who or what they were. I threw in the video not knowing what to expect, and WAMO!!!, that's when I really got crazy to have a Cobra.I later found Club Cobra and started to research all the different Cobra manufacturers. Ironically, I decided not to go with FFR, but rather with EM, and yes it has Corvette susp. and in a few weeks, my motor arrives, and yes, it's Chevy powered. Hope to have it running in less than a year. Thanks FFR !!!!
