Hello All,

I'm a new member here in sunny Ventura, California and a transplant from Vancouver, BC, Canada. I grew up with my workaholic day saying how someday he'd like to build a Cobra replica with me as I grew up and unfortunately that never came to fruition. Well now I have kids, and that Cobra model still sits on my bedroom armoire and I decided a few months ago that I wanted to start planning to do a kit myself.

I've only done minor car repair work in my life, but Im a machine with multiple CNC machines and im pretty mechanically inclinded. I've definetly got my work cut out for me, i know. but I need a hobby, and i cant imagine buying someon elses car.

So far my working theory is to invest in a good engine (probably before the kit), and a decent quality kit - Then go from there. I imagine a good engine can be had for 6-9 grand in relatively good condition.

I'd love any good links you guys have and im an internet reading junky.
