Carl,
Glad to have you join us and when you are ready there are a lot of already built Cobras of almost every brand and type on the market. You might think about looking at them and finding one that fits what you want or is close enough that you can make whatever changes you may want easy enough. Having gone through the experience of building one just exactly as I wanted it, I think I would never do that again. I would look for a used one in good shape that was close to what I want and then make the changes.
As Tommy so kindly pointed out, there is an Introduction Forum for new people but he carried his description of the lounge a little to far I believe. It is the cyberspace love in area of the 60s.
