Hello,
Let me start by saying that I participate on quite a few automotive message boards and this has to be the most helpful and informative board I have ever been to. There is none of that smart-alec, holier-than-thou attitude here. I commend everyone here and look forward to getting to know some of you.
The reason I am here is simple, I want to build my own Cobra. I have been looking at these kits for years. It all started with a wreck I had in my '89 Mustang GT, which effectively made it a viable donor car. I was too young, inexperienced, and poor at the time to build my own Cobra. Flashforward 7 years and here I am still wanting to build my own Cobra, but now I have the experience and the money. I have always liked the FFR kit, but now I am not so sure about the donor car approach and would like to use new parts specifically built for a Cobra. If I have read correctly FFR offers these parts as a option (I ordered their sales litereature on tues.). I still have a great deal of homework to do, but would love to hear some opinions on the donor car approach.
I live in Concord, NC and would love to see some different replicas in person as part of "my homework". If anyone lives in the Charlotte/Concord area and would like to show off their ride, either in private or at a show let me know when and where. Thank you for reading this.
