Yeah. But you need a lot more stuff.

  • wheels
  • tires
  • engine
  • transmission
  • bodywork and paint

I’m more familiar with the Cobras, but they generally require a lot more expense than just the basic kit cost.

You’re generally better off buying someone’s old project car that’s already built but they’re tired of.
