Default Which Cobra is best for me? All Opinions welcome..

I am in the beginning researching stage and have a few kit builders I am looking at. So far just gathering first round of information.
FFR, Pacific Roadster, Hurricane motorsports, B&B and Power Performance Motor Cars.

I have not seen any of these cars in person yet but after I get to the top 2 or 3 builders I will try even if I have to make some overnight trips. Maybe make a family weekend trip especially since the wife is 100% behind me for building a Cobra. Just have to find which one I want to build.

Let me state the type of build I want and maybe you guys can help eliminate or add to my keep list.

1. I want to enjoy the build, so I don't want to have to fabricate (weld) much since that is out of my experience. I don't mind turning wrenchs or even drilling some of the infinite holes the FFR cars require but if there is an easier/better build I want to consider.

2. I want to have good support whether it be from the company or a we forum support from its customers.

3. I am no body person so less body prep work is better. Although I understand some will be required or I will have to pay for it to get done.

4. donor/new/used is not a big factor as long as the end car is solid. Not settled on drive train yet. Even considered a Bowtie drive but that is not etched in stone. (PLEASE don't throw stones at me either. Wait if I actually do.)

5. Cheaper is always important but since I am putting it together I don't want to sacrifice quality/simplicity for a lower price tag.

I am sure if I asked any of the listed companies they would all give me why I should buy theirs but maybe some experienced kit builders will give my their own personal build stories/nightmares. PM me if you don't want to say something bad over the public forum's.

Thanks
Robert
