KIT CAR
I researched for 18 months before I bought my kit from a dealer in Tenn. I thought that I would buy the KIT and all the parts necessary to finish the KIT. Then I would just bolt everything together. I had to rework fiberglass, cut and weld, body work, electrical, suspension, drive shafts, motor mounts, everything, I had to make a lot of parts and rework most of the other parts. I have learn that new parts do not bolt on a kit car!! New parts don't work and you have to remove them and take them back to the parts store. We have 10 Cobras in town of all different manufactors, all builders have the same experience. It's the Cobra Kit car joke around here. I have 2000 hours in my car. I have gone back and changed a lot of things. I did not have this web site to help me and my "dealer" gave me a lot of bad advice and sold me parts that would not work. And I made some parts that I could have bought. Most kits done correctly by first time builders take twice as long as the advertised time. I have not seen a manual that tell you everything you need to know to assemble the kit. Find a couple of local guys who have built a kit car and call on them ( a lot ). And there is CLUB COBRA the best resource on the planet.
BOY IS SURE DOES FEEL GOOD TO SOLVE A CAR PROBLEM. AND WHEN YOU MAKE A PART THAT LOOKS GOOD AND WORKS, THAT IS A GREAT FEELING.
Jump on in! We'll talk you thu it.
See you in OHIO in JUNE
