Kyle;
Welcome to Club Cobra. I started out in 1998 with the the same idea and budget as you. I followed every post on this site, went to a ton of car shows (including Carlisle four times), visited most of the top manufacturers, and even took a three day course on building Cobras. I moved from an apartment to a house with a two-car garage and began to save every penny for my "Cobra fund". Now, five years later, EVERYTHING has changed. I have a Unique deluxe pallet kit in my garage that cost more than my original budget. My 302 magically changed into a 427W stroker with a Dart big-bore block and AFR 205 heads, each costing more than I originally intended to spend on the whole engine. As things are going now, I expect to finish my Cobra in $25,000!! So, my advice is: do your research, talk to people, stay on this site, and save your pennies. Good luck,
Bill Stradtner
