hey Jim - yep, no doubt - I want to thank all the guys responsible for this forum - as well as those who helped me out with information on the other discussion threads prior to this one (as well as a few phone calls to boot!)
One -problem - being so new - I don't even know who everybody is yet - I suppose with time (and maybe some cruise-ins). . .
Anyway - I'm going with the Gel coat - I HOPE it's nice - so far I've heard much positive feedback about it - so I feel good about it.
(there was a recent A&C Cobra for sale up on Cobra Country that caused me some concern. It was a bright red one that, I don't know if it was the photograph, the lighting, or what, looked a little dull and/or (I wanna say) waxie(?) - kind of like a toy bumper car. (E.g., the reflections of the things surrounding the car (trees structures, etc) should be sharp - it should be pretty mirror-like.) With this particular car - the images/relfections were fuzzy/dull, kind of out of focus - again it could have been the picture.
I called Sonny and said - hang on a second - if that's what the gel coat looks like - I'm going to have to think about it. He assured me that the finish is in fact hi-luster (mirror like/shiny, etc) Plus I've neard from many of you guys with the gel coat bodies and everyone seems to think it's good. Plus I've seen a couple up close and they seem to be fine as well. Perhaps the one I saw on Cobra Country was a fluke.
John is building both my engine and drive train - heard a lot of good stuff about him too. Thanks to everyone who's replied!!! Can't wait to start runnin' it!
