While I did not read all 12 pages of this thread I'd like to comment on the original post. It seems like you depended too much on everyone else to get your car right rather than yourself. You just threw money at it.

I guess it's ok if you've got the money but I, and many others, enjoy doing the work ourselves. I know that I get a tremendous amount of pleasure and satisfaction working on my Cobra. Building from the chassis up I certainly made some mistakes but, over time, corrected them and/or upgraded.
