I'll restate what I posted earlier.When deciding to build a car as comprensive as a FFR,family considerations play a large part in when or if a project will get completed.When you have 15-20k in parts sitting in the garage,the hobby can become a compulsion,to the detriment of a happy home life.For those to which this is not a consideration,the400-500 hours to complete a project is no biggie.To those who may wish to stay involved in their kid's lives.or maintain friendly relations with their spouse,it's something to consider.I've taken a car from a pile of parts to a trophy winner,and know what is involved to do that.I think anyone looking to start to build may wish to at least consider this before purchase if this may apply to them.The Cobra planning and build should be one of the most enjoyable things we all do in this life,on that we all can agree!I like all the technical threads as much as the next guy or gal,but I hope Club Cobra will continue to also stay balanced with plenty of what some may consider "junk" as well.

It's not a 400 - 500 hour project unless you make it that way.
Of course what do I know. I have a great marriage and am building a car from the frame up.
