Hello all! New member to the forum but have been lurking for a while. On the fence about building/buying and spending time here reading up! I live in Salisbury NC. I’ve owned lots of sports cars and a few pony cars, last of which was a 16’ GT350. ALWAYS wanted the Cobra like so many others!

Hey newb, I live not too far from you in Mooresville. I have a Factory Five which has been thru 3 iterations and is now a 289 street car. If you would like to take a ride over to see her give me a call (H)704-799-4680, or (Cell)973 368-3570. I'm probably about a 1/2 hour from you. Hope to hear from you,
John Olsen

Newb, welcome! I'm down the road in Fort Mill, SC and am in the middle of my Mk4 build. You're welcome to come by and take a look and ask questions anytime!

I don't live close by (Thunder Bay Ontario) but I can tell you that you won't regret building the roadster, it's as close of a feeling of riding a motorcycle than you can get, I've got over 600HP in mine which is way more than you need but it always puts a smile on my face when I take it out.

There is a local Facebook page that you might want to check out https://www.facebook.com/groups/1835891613390906 Also, we have a group that meets for Breakfast in Mooresville once a month on the second Saturday at 8:30am at the Cracker Barrel at the intersection of I77 and Rte 150. It should be this coming Saturday if the weather is good.

Well.. I went and met a few (literally 3) of the the CCC guys at Cracker Barrel Saturday before last. I also jumped off the fence and threw my money down on a complete kit. I've also decided to cease and desist on the engine I'm currently in the process of building to have a turn key solution instead. If anyone knows someone who wants a fresh 351 long block (no induction) lemmie know!

If you want to check out a '35 truck build, I'm located a few hours west of you in Brevard NC.
