This is going to open a can of worms I know, but here goes.
I'm currently the owner of an AK427 Cobra Replica with a Chevy LS3 engine. This is my second Cobra build having built and sold a Pilgrim Sumo a few years ago.

After a drive out this weekend I noticed my hands were very cold, my plan to stop my hands getting cold again is to sell the Cobra and begin the build of a GT40 Replica.
Thing is, I'm after a few pointers. Using google I've found three main kit suppliers in the UK.
Tornado, Southern GT and GTForte. Am I missing any that I should consider?
I'm looking for a build sub £40k, 5 year build with a Ford 302V8.
I'm willing to do a few deals, look for cheaper parts, make some mods and I'm even considering doing the GTForte flatpack option??
Can you guys offer the pros and cons for each kit/gearbox/engine option?
Is there anyone in the Worcestershire area willing to show me their build or their completed car from each of these three kits to give me some ideas??
I know Tornado are quite close to me anyway and I have already spoke to them briefly with a view to a drive in their demonstrator when I've sold the Cobra, they do however have a 40 week waiting list for a chassis!
I guess the only other thing to add is..... does anyone fancy buying an AK427 Cobra?
