I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who recommended that I make the trip to Gateway to check out some of the different cobra builders out there. The only unfortunate thing for me was that I could not make it to the event until Saturday and there was very little in the way of manufacturer displays to look at. I didn't get a chance to test out any cars, but still found many owners willing to talk with me a length about their experiences. Several also offered to let me sit in their cars to see how my 6'4" frame fit. I did talk with Bryan Anderson of B&B and was very impressed with how much time he spent talking to the wife and I about all things replica. He offered to have me come out to his shop when I'm ready to build and custom fit the car to my needs. Don't know if all builders will do this, but I did feel like the B&B could be a good choice for my size and my budget. Had a blast watching the drag racing and got some good photo's to show my friends as well. I admire everyone who came out today and put their cars at risk. Really felt bad about the guy in the backdraft that hit the wall....Hope he was ok, I'm sure he is probably pretty upset, but after looking at the car....and snapping a few photo's of it on the trailer, it didn't look to badly damaged. Anyway...sorry to put up such a long post, I was just really excited about the day and wanted to share it with others who understand.
