Default Factory Five coupe question......

I recently bought an 02 Shell Valley 427 Cobra, and I was thinking about the future, and building a FF Daytona Coupe as that has always been my dream car [Well under the GT40, but I don't see ever having the $$$ for that deal].

So, that sounds like a lot of parts for around $16k. Is there any thing else besides what the website says which is a doner Mustang, engine, tranny, wheels?

The kit is pretty complete. There's much assembly to do, much more than the roadster.
You'll also need to add paint/body work. There's a lot of body to work on too. Lots of fitting and trimming to make it all fit. The sky is the limit for cost on paint.
Brakes and some also add air conditioning too.
