Working in a shop that maintains cobras for many owners in Colorado I have seen many different car qualities. Factory Five, Shelly Valley, Classic, Autokraft, Unique, Superformance and others.

Before we became involved in Unique building we purchased a Superformance. Both of these cars have incredible fit and finish. Quality of detail is impecable. Detail to safety and handling are #1.

Someone said in an earlier posting "its not how much you spend as long as you're happy". Seeing the mirid of cars I see, I must object.

A car is only as good as the parts that are installed and only as safe as those parts and the person who installed them.

I have seen quick-jacks and bumpers installed into fiberglass only, poised to pierce cheap plactic fuel cells with the slightest nudge from behind. I have seen batteries precariously perched over radiators and cheap drum brakes and skimpy front discs to stop a Big Block V-8.

You can not expect cheap parts to propel a 2400 lb car up to 160 MPH and keep you alive if it doesn't turn when you tell it or brake when you need it.

Don't pay for a "VW" and expect a "Porche"

$pend it all the 1st time and then you won't have to revamp someone's poor judgment to compromise a good car because THEY ran out of money and you bought their "project car"
