I am remaining positive with it.  At this point I know that the Cobra dream will come true for me when I get to the point of purchasing.  Right now, I hope it is an HMS.  If not, then I will have something.  But I think that HMS will be there.

I see there were updates on the thread that got started on CC.  Glad to hear that things are coming along.  

Chris,
It has been a while since I spoke with you.  How is it coming for production?  Last time we talked you were getting everything together to do a test build out of the first run of parts once you got the Jigs set up the way you wanted them.    

Prof,
Check out this thread on CC http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90390.

Cat 5 are you local to DFW as well?  Just curious.  I was thinking of their local competition when I posted that.  If you haven't spoken directly with Chris yet, I highly recommend it.  He has taken the time to talk to me and seems like he will work with you how you need.  He does seem to be dedicated to customer service and to making sure that everyone knows it.  

I know at this point I am looking forward to an Open House celebration.  Being only about 30-45 min away from the shop I plan on attending whatever functions they have there. I was settled on the Hurricane kit previously (Even with LS being local) after looking at another members car.  I fit very well in the seat (car was prior to the mod to move seat back).  I also wanted the original 90" wheelbase so when I thought that Hurricane would no longer be an option, I started to think that I would just save my money longer and get a SPF.  I am not a fan of the FFR body.  Just a personal preference and nothing more.  Chris has convinced me that Hurricane will take care of me the way I expect to be taken care of, so I am now back on the Hurricane band wagon so to speak.  

Chris,
I sent you an email with more information on where I am in purchasing a kit.

Hmmm  different purchase options?  Now that would get me moving quicker.  I would still be 2 years away from start, but I would likely be interested in or at least review options like in house financing (Full or partial), purchasing the kit in stages (depending on how the stages are put together and what options are included),

John,
If I could order today, I would order today.  The only thing holding me back is getting the financial side in order.  I am just looking at different options and when I could order if I do different things.  

Thanks Rich, that is exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks also for the tip on the firewall, wipers and heater as they are all items that I want.  I am thinking about ordering "the bare minimum" to start and then as money permits, order the additional items, and get my driveline in order.  I just wanted to be sure that there wasn't a cost savings involved by getting everything at once. It doesn't look like there will be much though that is left to get after I get the items that make sense when I order the kit.  

I did a search, but could not find what I was looking for.  I am just wondering if there is any cost advantage to ordering a kit with all the options/upgrades you want vs getting these items later.  Specifically, I am wondering about things like wind wings, wipers, and the like.  Obviously, if you wanted upgraded brakes it wouldn't make sense to not order it with the kit.  

I just read your reply John.  I appreciate your comment about me being part of the club.  I don't really see myself as part of the club, I have just now decided to follow my dream and get my car.  I am really just trying to learn.  

Now if some people do need electrical work done, I won't turn down a job that can help me get my car faster.  

Good video.  Kinda funny how I can recognize John Ross' voice now, after only meeting him twice now.  

Thanks John, I really appreciate it.  Now it is a matter of me saving the money for the kit, plus the other stuff.  After yesterday, I think I am pretty much sold on the Hurricane kit.  

JShell, I am not far from you, I live in Lavon, but I was wondering if you would be willing to show me your kit?  I have been referred to the Hurricane kit by someone who has put a deposit down after all the research, and by someone with a Lonestar.  The latter was not anything against lonestar, but recommended Hurricane due to my desires/needs.  I am still a couple of years at least away from having the funds together, so I am trying to research as my time permits.
