[QUOTE="Kevins89notch, post: 16583791, member: 31255"] I think the issue at hand is what faces some classic car owners. They find some rotted to all hell classic, and are able to save basically the VIN and nothing else. They replace the fenders, quarters, floor, roof, firewall, literally everything, but keep the Shelby VIN and call the finished result a Shelby. Some argue it's not longer really one. Now you had a 2000 Cobra R, gutted it down to the shell and are going to build it differently. I'm not a hater, I just question the cost aspect. The car was worth... I don't even know, 50K? If you make 50K+ selling off the stock parts, then ok, makes sense. If you only make 25K selling off parts, that means you paid 25K for a 20 year old shell. You could have bought a low mileage V6 for like 5K, spend 10K on paint and then have better paint than the factory and you're 10K ahead still. When I see your finished project, it will be a badass built to me, and just that. Never would I ask "but is it a REAL cobra R?" So I'm not angry or a hater, I just question the financials of the build. Seems it could be done cheaper for the same result. [/QUOTE]
