	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?
