Likewise, if you want to see an ERA with a 351 W with a T-56 6-speed shoehorned in, I am not far away, in Hopkins.

This state DMV clearly does not "get it", with regard to Cobra replicas. Just across the river, in Wisconsin, they do.

My other advice is to expect to spend more than you originally intend, for unexpected changes/improvements, check into insurance ahead of time, and use other peoples' advice that you trust as much as possible, vs. buying components or an engine that might be the least expensive. As for insurance, I have been using Parish, who most recently is working under Great American Insurance, at 800-252-5233. Be prepared to spend $600-1200 per year for your premium. There have been alot of claims for theft and crashes, so the premiums keep on rising....

Good luck. This is still the most fun car project I've had, and the most fun car I have ever driven.
