I enjoy building, it was purely from an economical decision to buy prebuilt. As I mature in this sport/hobby/community, I may start a slow build on a foxbody or SN95. Who knows.

UPDATE: My Factory Five Cobra sold for asking price. Funds have been secured to make the purchase of Mike Plum's car. I've been calling it mine, but reality is I haven't paid or took possession yet. Was hoping to make it to California to meet with Mike and retrieve it. But looks like it'll take til mid next week for this cashiers check to clear (its already been verified), but there is a hold on it at my bank. Unfortunately I don't have enough days of leave to wait that long and I have to return to South Korea. So Mike has agreed to keep it stored at his place awaiting pickup sometime Christmas timeframe when I come back to visit my family for Christmas.
