    The dream begins again!

    Hi Everyone. My name is Don Berg and I recently purchased the MK4 kit and I'm anxiously awaiting delivery in mid august to AZ. The 65 Cobra has always been my dream car. I built my first factory five cobra back in 2005 but unfortunately had to sell it in 2009 to finish my dad's 1936 ford 5 window coupe as he was sick. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to build my dream again! I recall this forum being an incredible source for information and opinions and will rely on it all the members to help me in the upcoming months.
    Thank you!

    I bought the complete kit. My current plan is the 575hp Z460 small block, TKO600, EFI stacks, 373's in rear... I like the old school look for wheels/tires so I'm going with 15's.

    Hey guys, I need to some advice. The one big missing link to my build are my 15" tires. I was going to put out a post asking opinions on what others have done. I can't find much info searching forum.
    I would really love to get the Good Year emblem tire in a radial but not sure if it's available. I had the bias ply good year emblem on my last car and they really sucked unless you were racing. They are good off the line only. What's the best way to get feedback on this forum? I don't see a "new post" link which maybe I can't post yet since I'm a new member. Please advise.
    THANKS!!!
