Lines: 15 I would like advice from people who have made built cars from kits. I have heard that some kits are bad and that some companies selling kits downplay the difficulty of building their products. Some first-hand experience would be helpful. Specifically, I would like to build myself a Cobra. Buying one used is impossible due to high price, and an article I read said that the new Cobras being made in England will cost 30,000+. Still, I think they are beautiful cars. My concern is, what would I be getting out of a kit? Is it possible to build a kit Cobra that would handle as well as the original?
