[REAL 1]

Mr. Fixit: With all due respect I agree with Ernie. Your expertise allows you to spot all the "details" that make the difference between the $25K car and the $50K car.

To the "average Joe" a well executed $25K car appears just as good as a $50K car. Can you or I tell the difference? Yeah. But many of the public can't. In fact many times people have asked me how do you tell the difference between a replica and a REAL Cobra (no wise a$$ remarks please).

At your average show and shine or mom and pop show the popular choice or even the judged 1st place has nothing to do with correctness and accuracy in detail. It has more to do with chrome and flash and which color is liked the best.

The difference between the $25K and the $50K cars are in the details and in some aspects quality.

I also agree with CSX 4027. At $50K I would buy the new SA Shelby Cobra glass roller and drop a 428 in it. Could probably finish that car for $50K to $55K.
