What do u guys think?

was thinking of building one of these things

 

I have been in a number of there cobra's. The word is that this is a significantly more difficult kit to build then the MK3's but not impossible for someone who has experience with standard road car construction.

I have a 65 coupe order going to them in about 6 months provided I can clear some space up at the house.

 

I think it could be pretty cool!!

 

Here is the better way to go if you want to really have fun.
I have already made my choices and started to appropriate my purchase plans.

you and Jeff should find a garage to build both cars in. I think he is getting close to pulling the trigger on one too

 

i think the ffr believe it or not is a lot more practical

 

Only if you want to drive a corvette with a condom on it......

 

i agree. here is another option.

bit more expensive i'm sure, althought the exhange rate maybe better than the GB pound.

 

Ive built one... nice cars when done right.

AMAZING job on the build. Looks like it was a ridiculous amount of work. How did you get all of that done in a day? jk How many man hours did it take?

 

Almost pulled the trigger on that one and it's almost an extact replica of the GT40. Ran out of guts to give it a try. They also make a GT40 out of I think New Zealand to spec but more expensive.

 

I think it would be an interesting project and great value for money. I'd love to build this car just to learn from the experience and have a unique car that I had a part in building -- kind of think it would be a great semi-retirement project.

Then again, in 20 years, my semi-retirement project will probably be based on a 998 Turbo track car for club racing

 

Thanks! really appreciate the kind works man...

In a day...

This was the first kit to ship from the factory as a beta car so it took a bit longer. We have about 1700 hours in the car not including major body and paint, but including labor for interior and everything else. The car was built to show quality with detail under the skin and in places you dont see. It was a big project, but well worth the effort.... The car is rock solid, with no rattles or squeaks and affords a very comfortable ride with power windows, AC, heat, stereo and ipod interface

 

I have seen David's car in person. It is absolutely incredible. At a car show with numerous Ferraris, Maseratis, Ford GTs, and Porsches, his car attracted the biggest crowd of spectators. I can't wait to talk him into taking me for a ride in it.
David, I hope you and Mary enjoyed Germany. I look forward to seeing you at the next show.
