    Newb in NC

    Hello all! New member to the forum but have been lurking for a while. On the fence about building/buying and spending time here reading up! I live in Salisbury NC. I’ve owned lots of sports cars and a few pony cars, last of which was a 16’ GT350. ALWAYS wanted the Cobra like so many others!

    Hey newb, I live not too far from you in Mooresville. I have a Factory Five which has been thru 3 iterations and is now a 289 street car. If you would like to take a ride over to see her give me a call (H)704-799-4680, or (Cell)973 368-3570. I'm probably about a 1/2 hour from you. Hope to hear from you,

    I don't live close by (Thunder Bay Ontario) but I can tell you that you won't regret building the roadster, it's as close of a feeling of riding a motorcycle than you can get, I've got over 600HP in mine which is way more than you need but it always puts a smile on my face when I take it out.

    There is a local Facebook page that you might want to check out https://www.facebook.com/groups/1835891613390906 Also, we have a group that meets for Breakfast in Mooresville once a month on the second Saturday at 8:30am at the Cracker Barrel at the intersection of I77 and Rte 150. It should be this coming Saturday if the weather is good.

    Well.. I went and met a few (literally 3) of the the CCC guys at Cracker Barrel Saturday before last. I also jumped off the fence and threw my money down on a complete kit. I've also decided to cease and desist on the engine I'm currently in the process of building to have a turn key solution instead. If anyone knows someone who wants a fresh 351 long block (no induction) lemmie know!
