[P-51 Cobra]

I highly recommend Metal-Morphous. Ron Randall does great work. While he was transforming my 11 year old ERA into the P-51 Cobra I had the opportunity to see the paint jobs he did on several other Cobras. His work is fantastic.

On options, my thoughts are:
Get the big brakes up front.
Pass on the ERA rear unless you are going to track the car.
Avon tires.
Leather seats.
Don't mix S/C and street options. I did and wish I hadn't (of course my car now looks like an airplane, so why listen to me!)
... and most important, its your car! Do what you want.

I used to live in Houston. Make sure you connect with the Houston Cobra
Club. They're a great bunch ... except for Jim D. ... and Kelly ... and Randy ... and Fester ... and Bill ... and Daryl ... and his other brother Daryl ... and all the other Jims ... and Jorge ... and Angelo ... might as well throw Boyd in there too ... and Bubbles (don't ask) ... but the wives are nice!
