Here is a few of the items that I am looking for:
I want a kit that has pieces that all fit together well without a need to fabricate parts.
Good backroad handling and bump handling with good wheel travel.
Fits a person at least 6' 3" tall.
That is a close replica of the original.
Thanks for your help.  |
Your price range gives you lots of options. Some basic decisions to think about might be:
1) Do you want a big block car or would you be happy with a small block?
2) How authentic do you want the car to be to the original cobras?
3) How much experience do you have with building restoring cars? What areas would be "old hand" for you and what would be new ground?
I have an ERA and am very happy with it. I choose ERA because I felt it was a good car for an big block motor and it is a very authentic reproduction of the orignal 427 Cobra.
