    Cool 4 "guys" in the garage!

    Hello there!

    I am a widowed father of 3 boys, ages 3, 5 and 7 years old. My wife passed away last year from cervical cancer. I am hoping to build this car with my boys, coworkers and friend along the way. I would love to have my wife here, but can see now, life is short. No more dreaming about things, start living and doing!

    I always wanted to have a sports car of some sort. I have been pretty frugal in my life and just dreamt about building a Cobra. This year I started looking at some older cars, like Fiat 124, MGM midget or Porsche 911. But then I realized and asked myself a question - "What car would really make you tickle?" I would be Shelby Cobra 1965 for sure!
    So I dropped plans on purchasing anything else. Did some research and placed an order with Factory Five this month. Also called Mike Forte and placed an order there.
    I really like this forum with many helpful hint and tips. Thanks!

    Here is what I am getting:
    MK4 Complete kit
    17"/front 9"/back 10.5" wheels
    +Appearance Package FREE

    from Mike Forte:
    SB FORD DART 347 TURNKEY ENGINE PACKAGE carburated
    manual TKO600
    3.55 8.8 REAREND
    REAR DISC 11.65" KIT

    I already spend some time and build the body buck. I am also talking to Al_C user and going visit his place this weekend. Very excited!

    So this is for now.....more to come.

    Thanks,
    Martin
