I have been looking at many Cobra kits. Does anyone have some preferances. Shell Valley looks pretty complete and high quality.

The second part to my posting is:

I am graduating from college and I built a garage to restore cars in and I want to build and sell these cars. I can save alot of costs by doing all the work myself but is the market too saturated with this same idea?

Any ideas are greately appreciated.

SHell Valley is a great company to buy from.

I don't know how successful building these kits to sell would be. You can buy many of these cars close to fully built already.  

Given that many of the potential buyers have lost the opportunity to obtain the funds for purchase by refinancing their homes (to remove trapped equity), I would be inclined to think that selling home-built kit cars for profit is not a hopeful enterprise.

This is especially true now that companies (such as Backdraft) will supply a turn-key car (except for engine and transmission) for about $30,000.

Perhaps by being a dealer for such manufacturers, and making your profit by supplying and installing these key components to pre-sold cars offers the lowest-risk way to participate as a "builder."
