Thanks BlackJack/Wade,

I'm going to try and make it out - if not this Saturday, indeed one soon. Got an all-day work event this Sunday so the wife-alarm says Saturday belongs to her this weekend. I don't think I'll be inviting her to too many Cobra events all too soon - I just essentially got the go-ahead to start on my project - doesn't mean she's thrilled about it. . .

ABRAHAM - that's the name - I couldn't remember - sounds like you know your VI history pretty well. I pretty much checked in once every couple weeks with a work group for lunch, and of course soaked up the standard (abuse) "ambiance" - as you say. It was always entertaining "setting up" some unsuspecting tough-smack-talking guy against Molly - she won the day every time.

Anyway - I actually was close to making up my mind on (and I'm still kind of leaning towards) the A&C product out of Buffalo. But then I realized I had over looked Shell Valley, gave them a call, and they made some compelling arguments. I know that neither is a Superformance, Kirkham, ERA, Unique, etc caliber product, but for my situation - they are appropriate, and kind of peer to peer.

Heard anything about the Antique & Collectibles? I keep hearing that those who have them really like them. . .

BTW, Clay (Thanks for the invite - basically - you got a car, I want to see it),

I was just in Annapolis on New Years eve. I took the day off that day and drove down to Cherner Classics right there near the harbor (I'm sure you're familiar). As you may be aware, they had (and may still have) a Contemporary Cobra, signal red w/ 427 SO and 4 spd top-loader in their Showroom.
Very tempting! Just a few little blemishes. Have you seen the car?
