Linesslinger: This will be a great project to share with your son. You two are going to have challenges, but you'll also have a lot of fun. I bought a completed Contemporary Classic because of its reputation of being very close to the original and my desire to get driving my Cobra right away. Unfortunately, the 428 FE broke soon after I purchased it, so I eventually went to Shelby and went with his modern version of the 427 FE sideoiler. But I regress. If I were to build a car as a kit, I would look first at an ERA. They have an excellent reputation and you can get it partially built as far along as you desire. Of course if I had the money, a Kirkham would be my first choice.
By the way, I don't know why some of these folks are talking about speeds above 160 MPH. If you aren't going to Bonneville, who cares? I'm more interested in autocrossing right now, and handling is more important than top speed. Of course, with 560 HP, brutal acceleration is kinda fun as well! ; ) Rich
