How about having a 38,000 dlls 2003 SVT Cobra as a donor for your next project?

I have already removed most of the front stuff, driver side fender, hood, trunk lid, etc. The idea is to remove as much as I can and still be able to make this wreck run, make mods in this stage and when the kit is ready to ship I'll have all the right stuff.

I said in my introduction that I knew immediately upon reading the design specs that this new Factory Five vehicle was going to be right up my alley. I've been settling into this alley for many years now, reading various car "build logs" and dabbling in a few discussion boards. Just so we're on the same page, I thought I'd share with you several examples of what I find inspirational. Be warned: I have spent many hours tumbling down some of these wells. I don't know if you would call ...
