I've seen a LOT of Cobras on the road lately. I don't know which kits were which, but I saw a really nice Factory Five Racing red and gold one the other day. I could only identify it because it had the script across the windshield. Anyway, it was a BEAUTIFUL car and sounded pretty nice! I was on busy US19 and didn't have the opportunity to talk to the owner, but it seemed like just the look I'm seeking.

I watched the episodes of KIT: An Autobody Experience that oulined Pacific Roadster's car and it seemed like a decent kit, but they mentioned that it was an original design that wasn't really to spec. I haven't researched it, but it seems like it's a "stretched" version designed to accommodate taller drivers. While I'm not looking to be 100% exact, I'd like to keep it pretty close. By the way, I don't think I'd have enough money for a Kirkham Motorsports Cobra even if I did sell everything. They look like really high quality cars, but I don't have that kind of budget.

I'm starting to figure things out on the site too. It took a while, but I think I'm getting the difference between slabsides and FIA cars. I knew there were differences between early and later Cobras, but I wasn't clear on what kits and styles were out there. Seems like I'm looking for an FIA car.

Thanks to everyone for the posts! This forum is awesome!
