[TerrysSPF]

Badman: Sounds like you've got a geat car, and I love that color combo. I also know the guys at DSS. Been there many times and have recommended them to quite a number of folks here on CC. They have great stroker kits available to those who are looking at getting more out of their 351's.
I also know Alex at St. Charles Motorsport. Another great guy and his mechanic's know thier way around an SPF. Great place for people in the Chicago area to go if they need work on their Cobras. My family has purchased a number of cars through Alex and he's always been a class act. The reason I asked you about the Black SPF was because it also had a 408 (like your car). That car used to belong to Alex and I came close to buying it from him. I never gave him a final answer and he ended up trading the car to D&M for a car that they had (a Ferrari I think) for one of his customers. The guys at D&M wanted more for the car than Alex and I agreed upon, so I walked away from the deal. The guys at D&M were always upfront and seemed to do the best they could for me on trying to make a deal, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend more on a car that I could have bought a couple weeks earlier, for less money. I think they had more $$ invested into the car than Alex did which is why they couldn't go lower.
Oh well...........you snooze, you loose. I ended up with a great car in the long run though. Just takes time and patience. But I will (and I HAVE) always recommend people to D&M and St. Charles Motorsports, even if I didn't buy from them. Great bunch of guys at BOTH locations.
