What to do now!

Hi to all!
I have a suspiciously generous Father-in-Law! He let us keep his cobra in my garage for a while, "Oh, by the way, drive it too!" Kinda like, the first one's free thing! Well his little plan worked! Of course me and the kid's were hooked! The surprise was my wife! She had a grin only a cobra driver would know!
So, where do we go from here? The cobra I am driving is a small block 302 in a Factory Five kit. We are going to build a car to DRIVE and have fun in. I am a little picky about precision, but not so much that I can't function without it. My wife and I want to involve the whole family in the build. We live in Northern Kentucky, in a suburb of Cincinnati. I would appreciate any advice and local connections to help in this process!

You'll see a wonderful wealth of information on exactly this issue here in club cobra. Just do some searching. There are hordes of people more knowledgeable than I who will help you on this board. The only thing I would add to what's been written is that you need to see and drive these things before anything else. The Spring Fling and other get togethers is key for a great experience, hopefully bringing with you someone knowledgeable to point out differences. At first they all look the same: incredibly beautiful powerful monsters. Then you see the differences. You also need to decide what you want to do with the car. Drive? How? Track? Show? Some of these cars take no building, some complete. Happy to help further, but again, I bought one built and just enjoy running the thing street and track.
Your neighbor in Milford,

Hey Cowtown, where is Keller. I'm from Farmers Branch Orig.
I look forward to meeting you local folks at a meet in the near future. Thanks for the information.
I am curious about the FFR.
I want a good all around driver to suit the mood a la carte!
