I just started down this treacherous road of building my own replica Cobra. I turned 29 a few days back (Dec 30) and I decided it was time for me to have something constructive to do in my free time. I read and watch movies and play games, but I really want something that I can point at and say, "that's what I do." A coworker suggested a Cobra kit car. After laughing him off for a day or two I did a little research and realized I can afford one, if I do my homework and go at it carefully. So, I am looking at different replica kit manufacturers. I like what Unique has to offer, and they certainly seem to be in the top-tier of the DIY kit manufacturers. Certainly, they are in my short list right now. I really like the idea of having a lot of my own blood and sweat behind the car. Stories of my failures and successes, my own frustration, a real learning curve and all the rest. After all, if I was going to spend this kind of money for a car someone else built for me, I could get a used Vette or Mustang. But that isn't what I am in this for.
At any rate, if anyone would like to start e-mail correspondence or even correspondence here on suggestions of where to look and what to look for before I pull the trigger on this project, please let me know. Also, I noticed a price increase ad on the main Unique homepage. Does anyone know when this goes in effect and what percentage an increase it will be? It may help me decide how quickly I pull said trigger.
Finally, I am in central Indiana. Anyone in the midwest that wants to show off their Unique, feel free to let me know.
Thanks in advance for reading,
Michael
