There's a couple outfits making fiberglass copies of the original Cobra
Daytonas. I saw one at a local show and was ready to start clearing
space in my garage unitl I checked the manufacturer's web site (Factory
Five). $19000 for the kit, and I bet you'll need at least another $10K
to finish it off. Oh well, there wasn't that much spare room in the
garage anyway.....
