Some general suggestiuons:
* Continue to reference all the forums on Club Cobra to gain exposure to all vendors , sources and experiences.
* Visit the sources and shows such as the Kit Car show at Carlisle PA, which has already been held this year, and the DV Spring Fling, get to talk with those that have had to make the same decision.
* Look at Cobra Country , Cobras for Sale, to reference the difference in price of completed cars vs assembling a kit from step 1, i.e., the make or buy decision

* Obtain brochures from the manufacturers
* Check your states DMV regulations for registering/safety inspections of Kit Cars. As an example, Connecticut refers to kit cars as Composites with a specfic procedure required to obtain the registration.
