Any particular reason that you're getting a kit instead of an already finished sorted out car?

Do you have the tools necessary to assemble and fabricate? Things go so much easier with a lift. And if you don't have an auto or body shop or know someone that does so you can borrow tools, you'll buy a lot of tools you'll never use again.

Many kits go unfinished and sold at scrap value because owners lose interest and then they sit for decades. If you think you're saving money over buying a finished car, think again.

If you're into fabrication and that is what you want to do, and this is your first, there are other cars that are much easier to build than a Cobra.

If you want to drive the car, then buy one that is already built and sorted out.

If you want the pleasure of being the first owner, buy a finished roller. They had the tools and labor to do it right.
