You can buy a runing, ready to drive, Cobra Cheaper than you can build it.

There are thousands for sale.

Surely there is one that fits your buget and taste. If there are a few things you don't like about it, you can repair, re-paint or replace it.

Happy hunting

Where? I've hunted around here, ebay CL, FF5. I haven't seen anything comparable to component prices. I've ruled out a few . FF5, BB, McGill Pacific are a couple that come to mind I'm not interested in. The Hurricane still seems to be the front runner. I may find out that I have the Champagne taste on a beer budget. That is one of the reasons I was considering a donor build. Less expensive to start and pay as you build?
