Bill & Tony hit the nail on the head. Many know my story here, and with another CR even, I found a unfinished kit (1992, last one of three, CR series 1) it was everything I was looking for (427S/O, TKO-600, everything NOS), I could easily finish it myself (less paint) BOY was I Wrong!! As the boys said, Missing pieces, wiring a mess, the body was just set on the chassis, etc. etc. But with the Gentlemen here, helping every step of the way (And were given pieces I needed, most of them FREE, try that with your Porsche or Vette club ) Five years later the Cobra was finished just as hoped, a Beautiful BRG 427 Street. Would I do it again, NOT in a Million years Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the friends I made, the club it self, but I could have been driving a running & sorted Cobra for the money I spent, (First owners take note) I will never get those 5years back, go the smart route buy a finished Cobra, their even more fun to drive, then work on. My 03 Cheers TommyRot.
