kit/project purchase
I've been surfing this great site for awhile now, as well as reading every magazine and book I can get my hands on pertaining to cobras. The more I learn the more questions I come up with. I have restored an MG TD and a Healy 3000 and grew up with a father who built class H modifieds from a pile of steel tubing in the family garage, then racing it on the weekends. Thats where I saw my first cobra. I am not trying to brag here, just offer some background. I am looking for a kit/project that offers ALL components other than engine and transmission. I no longer have any interest tearing down an old vehicle to create a new one. My desire is to build a "new" Cobra from all new components as a father and son project. My 15 yr. old son was seriously injured on a Boy Scout road trip being thrown from one of the infamous 16 passenger vans. After spending a year recovering from a broken back he is not able to participate in most activities at school but he very much wants to get involved with me in the building of this project. Any and all advice or recommendations from you guys who have done it would be greatly appreciated. Manufacturers, parts specialists, suspension , rear ends, you get the picture. No, I am not about to turn a kid loose in a cobra. The idea here is to teach him about how an automible works and why it works, like my pop did for me. Thanks for the indulgence fellas, any and all feedback more than welcome.
