Hey Guys,
Looking to build a Cobra Kit car but the field is to big and confusing. Anyone have any experience to share? Good or bad.

There are some brothers out of Utah called " Kirkham".. theirs are almost dead knock offs of the real 427 s roadsters. Their bodies are aluminum like the originals... ( made in a MIG factory in Poland ) . I don't know if they sell theirs as a kit or not. But they are the closest to the real thing that I have seen. There are lots of fiberglass replicas... but to the trained eye they are easy to spot as a fake.

Great show. Two Canadian guys that do hot rod/restoration work in Canada, do no-nonsense cars and drive some great high $$$ or extremely special car each week.

The Speed channel has some other good shows, but the trend towards the import/tuner market is evident.

Answered back a while back but I am having trouble with AOL cutting me off. These are the places I have been to. I am looking for someone that has had experience with one of them. Good or Bad.

My thoughts exactly.

Why would a business man want to let the world see his operation in that way. :rolleyes:

Some episodes of Rides are pretty cool, although Jason Priestly's voice annoys me for some reason. Wish they had a different narrator.
