Welcome to the forum. I started my build in July and i can tell you that the cobra consumes my every waking (and sleeping) thought. How will i do that? what part will i use? where can i buy it cheap? its never ending!

Somethings to think about are:

- How much work do you want to do yourself? I bought an RCM which i think is the cheapest kit you can get, but the quality is not cheap just the fact that it requires a lot more work. This worked for me cause i wanted to save the money and do it myself. If you paid someone to do the work though it would probably cost the same or more than other kits.

- what do you want to end up with? If it has a carby you better buy second hand.

- Do you want to be able to use suspension and parts from an old donar car you can get cheap or do you want it to use custom or new parts? Some use old jag, holden or nissan parts and some use new holden and ford parts.

you should be able to find all the manufacturers through google. This mag is worth reading https://customkitcarmagazine.com/ also.

Most people on here have the make of kit displayed in their posts and you can click the camera picture below the name to see if they have photos of the build, chassis, body etc.

Good luck.
