Superformance are junk, BDR are Junk, Kirkhams are junk - wasnt there a thread where the spinner were comming loose over there anti-loose device. ERA are junk also. Guess I am a man.
Keep the faith patrickt, I find it funny how you "attack" manufactures and components and 99% of the time rightfully so but others attack You. WTF!!!!

Thanks for all the concern guys, Charlie of Hot Rods by Dean delivered my Beast of Roushverks this morning and I has been tearin' up the hiways at a sedate 55pmh ever since.  The car is everything I ever wanted it to be, and yup the turn signals now work, the brakes stop the car and everything is cool, so all is well that ends well and its just in time for :
My Birthday: Dec 24th
Christmas: Dec 25th
Wifey and me's annivesary Dec 26th
So there you have it, end of a long build, cut the deal December 29, 2009, final delivery, today, December 23, 2011.
Was it worth it, you betcha, despite all the heartaches and angst, cuz now I has me a Cobra all of my own?:D 
Cheers, "God bless us, every one and to all a good night."

See? A shade under 2 years! No sweat!
Tin-man, if anyone deserves a Cobra Xmas, it's you.
Congrats (on the other milestones as well) and have a blast.

Tinner, congrats! Happy B'day, Merry Hoho, and happy anniversary to your sweetie. COB-RATS don't admit to having anniversaries, except when my wife is around.
