Thanks for the nice comment / glad you like. Its tough to beat on a nice summer weekend :)

Thanks / after a long nap, the beast is ready to evaporate tires also :)

It’s been a journey and I’m happy with how things turned out

Thanks Kevin - I used lacquer paint (not sure that even qualifies as 1K?)- it definitely isn't as durable as the urethane paints, but so far its holding up great. Best part is if it starts looking dull, getting scratched up - and - no fundamental body issues are showing through, you can scuff the paint and spray a few new coats right on top -haha :) I think if you do your research and ask around, I'm sure you can get a decent paint job from 1k- you only sacrifice some durability and for most show cars, it doesn't matter anyway because its usually garaged-a weekend cruiser. Thanks for the comment and good luck with the paint job!

No you are good- that is obviously an important question to have answered when you consider buying a kit -- I'm right around $27-29k total (base kit + parts) but if you are savy w/craiglist-ebay i think you could build for less.

stripes are on the horizon. Color recommendation?

Thanks FB - in the rear are 295/50-15 and 235/60-15 in the front. Brand: Cooper Cobras. I got them at discount tire. As for the wheels - 15" are from Factory Five racing - check out their website/catalog and you'll find them there - thanks for the comment!

Joe, I see you added the spinner and lug nut cap... where might one find that assembly? I like that it hides the lugs.

Hey Josh - I am 6’1” and I fit well in the car - not a Cadillac, but not uncomfortable either. I just left the seat loose and sat in it / moved it around until it was comfortable then bolted it down. I think you’ll be ok - check the FFR website too- they have a faq section for tall guys

@@TacoJoe Thanks so much. That puts my mind at ease. Do you have the big and tall seats, or just the standard roadster seats? Also, the paint job is incredible. I would like to potentially paint mine to save money, but have no experience what so ever. Any other tips that you haven't put in your lessons learned video? Thanks so much for all your help.

i have the regular roadster seats that come with the kit. If it helps put your mind at ease, look for a local cobra club and i'm sure a member would let you sit in theirs - try it out (that's what i did). Thanks for the kinds words regarding the paint job - my number one advise here is: take your time! I chose lacquer because everything i read said it was really easy to lay down and it was stupid proof because you thin it so much and wetsand (good for a beginner). That turned out to very true - but - it is no where near as durable as a modern paint / clear coat (more susceptible to road chips scratches). It works for me though because my car is only a weekend cruiser / show car

Marooned in the midwest

long tube headers to sidepipes / thats it

TacoJoe GasN?

It’s a mild 5.0 and I est it’s 280-300hp / thanks for the comment

No cats - 4 into 4 long tube headers on my build

Thanks man

Nice catch- i'm left brained to the core I guess :)
