I bit the bullet and ordered my kit today! Its already gone over budget, but what the hell!
The process is a little more complicated being in Canada, which contributes to a bit more $$, but no going back now.
So my spec is pretty similar to a lot of you guys. Engine is a 351W based 427CI - 560hp, TKO-600, Baer Brakes, 8.8 rear 3.55 ratio, 315 & 255 tires on 17", Breeze roll bar (or two), new FFR wide/tall seats, dual filler caps, quick release steering wheel, proximity key push button start. Thats it. No idea on color yet - it changes each week! Today it is black with titanium striped and black hallibrands.

Can't wait!

I'm getting mine mid-May. Can't get it sooner as I am waiting to complete purchase of a new house. What spec are you going for? Whereabouts are you?

The process would be a lot easier if I lived in America!

Now I have actually parted with some $$ I can't tell you how excited I am!
This is a great Forum and everyone is so friendly and keen to offer advice.

It's kinda amazing how it snowballs. Before I even got my kit I had reserved a Russ Thompson self canceling turn signal hub and ordered Herb Fraser door panels which I'm picking up this weekend..the Breeze engine compartment kit for battery and those Cobra Earls powered foot box vent kits are next. Might have to look for part time job cause the driving light kits that go below the radiator opening are starting to look neat.

Congratulations. You'll have a blast putting this thing together. It's like a big Mechano set. I'm looking at picking mine up from paint in Calgary late February. Going with "Viper" silver with the stripe being close to the accents on the Coyote.
