My response was directly to the point that answering every post with “ you are asking questions that you shouldnt ask and should not be involved in”. Saying that initially is understandable but every question that is asked needs to have that rehashed? That was a blanket statement i made about wealthy owners doing what they want regardless of what other say on every single post. “dont do this or only this person should do this”. Im asking very detailed questions about things “ nobody but the main handful of shops should be discussing amongst themselves” and Im not passionate or enthusiastic?

I respect your input and you have been helpful, others want to continue to make blanket statements about my involvement, the intentions , are just bullying and not helpful to anyone. I get it intitial but there should be a point where the concerns are noted and move on to either offer answers to questions or just keep scrolling.

Again thank you for the help and I hope we can continue to communicate.

Hey - Welcome aboard. I hope you stick around and keep us posted with the progress of the restoration. That would be interesting and appreciated by the majority of members here. Don't let the snob factor drive you away - some people here take these cars and themselves waaaay too seriously. Everyone here knows a dead on accurate nuts and bolts restoration will do more for the resale value of the car, but as you say - it's the owner's car and his money so let him do whatever the hell he wants with it. Plenty of original cars were modified to and from comp specs back in the day and beyond - repainted, roll barred and side piped and vice versa. Makes them no less interesting to me or most Cobra enthusiasts - we're not all wannabe concourse judges and Shelby American attack poodles, lol! Enjoy the hell outta your involvement with the build and stick around and share some details so we can enjoy it too. Life's way too short to get all fussed up and obsessed about stuff that should be fun. There are lots of very knowledgeable folks on here who will be happy to chime in and answer whatever questions they can.
