Newbie Questions
I'm interested in building a Cobra --
Suggest some good lists to subscribe to or UUNet newsgroups? Favorite kits (Factory Five looks easy -- what are the downsides?) AZ Licensing? and emissions? What else should I know? Thanks in advance, JB PS -- Feel free to reply offline -- jdburton@cox.net |
The downside to building any kit is:
TIME - it requires copious amounts of time to build a cobra MONEY - it is usually cheaper to buy one allready built, than build one this assumes you allready have all the tools, space, and knowledge to do the job |
Welcome, I am your local FFR builder. I would be happy to answer any questions and show you some cars. My number is 480-446-8442.

JB,
My Factory Five was finished five years ago last month. It took me less than 3 months, working about 2 hours a day to get it on the road. After 5 years of great fun, I sold it on Ebay for about what I had in it. I think the Factory Five is the best kit car for the bucks that you could ever have. Bill |
Ozone..
First, I suggest you go see Gordon. Second, send me an email so I can add you to the Arizona Cobra mailing list. Third, join us for our second anniversary party. Lots of cars and people to meet. I'll send you the info once I receive your email. There are a couple of builds going on now within 10 miles of you. Lastly...Go see and talk to Gordon. Mike |
Thanks to each of you for your replies -- it's a big help getting started just to know that the info is available from some helpful friends.
Mikicek -- I'll send addrs info today. Gordon -- I'll call as soon as life settles down (holidays and all) Thanks again -- Look forward to meeting you all, JB |

Sorry Neal....
I'll try to do better.... Mike P.S. Ozone if you want to consider a Cheetah then go to the north country...However, Neal will not let youo through the door with out 3 or 4 dozen Krispy Kreams :3DSMILE: :3DSMILE: |
Are we talking about the Team-C racing version, or some other?
|
Nope...
The Cheetah is not a Cobra, but Chevy's futile attempt to challange the Cobra on the track.... OK, I'm ready for the flames....:3DSMILE: :3DSMILE: Mike P.S. Here is one article about the Cheetah: http://www.suntimes.com/output/auto/...ws-clas06.html |
Yeah! Anyone who owns one knows exactly what they've got!
What is it agian?:LOL: |

It was indeed Chevys "futile" attempt tp challenge Cobra. They make a strong case for a replica NOT being built exactly like the "original", lol.
