I am debating between two cars and I would love your opinions

This is not easily fixable. If you can live with it, ok.... But if I were sitting in the passenger seat, it would be hard for me not to poke my finger through the vinyl in to the glove box outlet.

Well... I think I disagree. I've redone a Midstates dash.

The dash is easy to remove. Remove the vinyl, glass in the area you want filled. Drill new holes for the gauges. Recover cover the dash, reinstall the gauges. Could be done in a weekend allowing for time for the fiberglass to set.

I guess 'easy' can be relative but it is certainly not difficult.

a flat no...to the EM

the midstates is ok, over priced for sure. concerned with a 351 motor with a blower. note it was rebuilt along with the supercharger. why?

if the midstates was priced in the mid 30's....

i would keep looking.....plenty of other fine choices out there

None of them - find a nice Backdraft in the color you like

I agree with Patrick but that is up to you if you can live with this. I have one more thing to say. I purchased a Jeep body from Mid States/Shell Valley and while they are solidly built, the quality of the finishing touches is not there. We had a hell of a hard time installing the doors and top and ended up using a soft top vs hard top and half doors made out of fiberglass vs the metal doors; quite an added expense. I have not seen in detail their Cobra bodies but be aware of these possible issues.

Thank you for that I'll definitely take it into consideration and going to so more research.
