Man, I'm close! Got all the money lined up except the last few thousand that are due to arrive this week. Then I can place the order..
No-one knows when the sale will end, so I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that I can get the funds here in time to get that discount :)
I was told 5-6 weeks for delivery (I'm getting stage 1 '33) which is faster than I expected, so I'm excited to get this project started!

Good to hear hope you get in on the sale
Talk to FFR about sale price, they are good about that if you are close.

You don't have to pay 100% up front.

No you're right Mike but after a couple of false starts I want to be sure I have all the money before pulling the trigger! That's a story over beer ;)

383sbc, 6spd, 3link, hardtop, hood/nosides..
I'll build very simple first time through; cheap 350 motor, no heat/ac, kit as-is pretty much (no pws,Boyd etc) then rebuild yearly and upgrade as I can.
I've built before (Gtd40, 37ford) and never do well with going for broke first off. I prefer getting (lots of) miles on it asap and then improving what I want. I put 60k miles on my gtd40 in 2 years which was my daily driver - the 33 will be my daily too.

Hey man, I'm in SATX as well! Would love to see your build! Only met one other person with a Cobra here, though supposedly there's an 818 running around somewhere too but never seen it!

Excellent Benji! I'm expecting my 33 in first week of April (Stewart are picking up 8 cars and I'm not sure the exact date yet), but I'll PM you to share contact details..

Wow, that's impressive. Most GT40 owners are lucky if they put 1 or 2k miles a year on their car.

Hehe, the 33 will be the same. I love road trips!
