OK, now that Joe has established he's a geek, what does it mean? I was a geek once, I was a pro at MS-DOS. Darn that Windows put me out of business.
I didn't travel to UT to make my decision, but I think Jamo's advice is excellent for most, but obviously not for everyone. I've driven a few Cobras and been driven in a few as well, and I've admired them since I joined SAAC about 29 years ago (before I could drive, so I'm not that old
).
So, I REALLY knew what I wanted, except for a few those "blingy" items like the billet gas tanks straps, stainless steel steering shaft, billet pedals and the aluminum rear end. I chose them in the end, because I wanted the lightest car possible within financial reason.
henryr, there are those items which I forgot in my "budget", which was blown up very quickly. The little detail items such as an original coolant tank and
oil puke tank as well as fuel logs and turkey pans add up in a hurry. Coating the headers and sidepipes, including shipping back and forth can be a big number. Fitting the headers and sidepipes is no small job either. 4-wheel corner balanced alignments, adding a fuel level gauge sending unit (Kirkham has already built the gauge into their newest gauges).
I can keep going, and going. Some people desire a car that's closer to original specs and that will add to the budget too. Good luck.
