Looking to join the club
Hello Club Cobra:
Been lurking here and FFcobra. Struggling with buying used vs. roller vs. bunch of boxes. Would love to do the build with my kids, but would likely take 4-5 yrs if I look at previous project history. So that leaves me with $35k +/-, looking for a small block street car, IRS rear, FI (I think), reliable, that I can title in Mass. without having to sweat the inspection every year. Will likely read another 500 posts and window shop through the winter, while I figure out the garage situation. Appreciate your thoughts on the used market, future of the used market, best values at this point in time. Thanks again! Chris |
There is nothing like instant gratifacation HOWEVER building your own kit with your kids is only helping to educate them in ways only a father can.........i did the father/son thing and the kid can fix anything and service the car just as well as i can if not better.I suggest calling Shell Valley Custom Wheels 1-889-246-0900 and talk to Travis and get an info packet on there kits. talk to your kids about this project to see just how involved they want to be.Contact a local Cobra club and check out there cars and ask questions (and take the kids ) and maybe you can get a ride....Tell Travis i sent you.and welcome to the madness

Go talk to Jay at Vintage (there's a link around here somewhere to his website), He's only one state away from you. It would make for a good day trip and you would get a chance to physically get around the BackDraft and at least get a feel for what they have to offer.

I agree with rustyBob, it is a good experience to have with your children.
:D |
Welcome to the madness, whether you buy or build, just make sure you enjoy yourself in the process.
