THis is a repost of what I put in the deep south section...Tony Radford told me I would have better luck in here.
I am a new guy living in Atlanta Georgia, who now after 4 years of dreaming actually has the means to seriously consider buying & building a FFR Kit.
I stumbled upon the Factory Five site while looking to buy a set of control arms for my 88 5.0 GT & have been dreaming of building a Cobra one day ever since. Now things are in order to the point that I can actually consider doing it(Stock options are vested, fiancée is all for it, about to have house with garage).
I am fairly sure that I can tackle this build with only the normal amount of Murphy's law, bumps, bruises & stumbles that normally accompany these sort of endeavors. I consider myself a decent bolt turner that has done my fair share of engine & tranny swaps, rear end rebuilds (you mean you have to shim those ) a complete frame off of a 1971 Monte Carlo(so what if it took 3 years) & spent 3 years racing motorcycles in WERA all while managing not to kill myself. I have a good pool of friends that spend all of their spare time & energy fussing with a wide variety of Mustangs (some even do it pretty well 5.85 in the 1/8mile )
The only thing that I have never done, is actually see one of these cars in person, & as much as everyone raves about them, I would really like to see one all finished in the flesh.
Is there anyone in the Atlanta Georgia area that would not mind a guy coming out to drool over there car & take the last bit of question out of my mind?
