I will try to be as complete with the details as possible.
The idea for this project actually started when I got married. My wife became a mechanical engineer because of Carroll Shelby. She has always wanted to work on car projects but is currently heading up a mechanical lab for one of the largest aluminum suppliers in the world. Her favorite car (along with her dad's) has always been the 427 Cobra in blue with white stripes. She has also always wanted to build one of her own... hence...my black with dark grey stripes and red accents idea got shot down. Apparently, I am not allowed to build anymore cars until she gets hers.
We recently just bought a new house with a 3 car garage that I am having a lift installed in for this project along with my own car needs. So here is the idea...
I want to build a 427 4 speed Cobra kit car with my wife. There are several aspects of the the car that I want to do to make it fit in our lifestyle as well.
- Kit Car (obviously)
- 427 power plant
- Modern Suspension Setup Ready for Track Duty
The idea is to setup a car that would not only be fun to go rip in the mountains, but I could take it on the track here at Road Atlanta, Roebling Raceway and VIR instead of my current track car.
The question I am asking you guys today is which of the kit car companies would best fit these needs? I don't need it painted or assembled. I just need the foundation to build the car to those specs.
Thanks for the help and I look forward to being part of the community here.
