- This video details the parts / spend i made while building my Factory Five MK4 Cobra kit car replica. I purchased the base kit and kept all the receipts as I assembled the beast! Start to finish, the build took me about 3 years to complete and I purchased most of the parts from....
* Factory Five Racing
* Summit Racing
* Late Model Restoration
* Amazon
* Autozone
* O' Reilly Auto Parts - Авто та транспорт
I don't believe this cost under $30k. Because it looks a Million $$$$. BTW looking at your video editing style and attention to detail in the built, I totally believe not only did you do a fantastic job but the Picasso art work would be reliable, easy to source parts for and cheap to maintain. Well done.
Real ones cost 1.5mill to 2mill
@@mazdamcduckens4015 Actually more one time i saw an auction sold for 6 million
@@mayuravirus6134 that one actually belonged to Shelby
Best of all this cars are solid 10 seconds cars all day long 2400pounds 400 to 500 hp cars for a price of a 13 second cámaro i rather take the cobra any day
Wife's refusal of a high-five, the night's spent alone, over-drawing checking account, diminished savings - priceless.
Deep down inside: she loves the car - she would never admit it though :)
Bring it to the Dream Cruise so we all can admire this work of love. There's a sizable factory five owners club meet every year....
I'm in the midwest so I'll definitely have to consider that sometime / is it happening this year with Covid/etc?
Great job. My wife is begging for a cobra and I showed her your cost to build. I got the thumbs up!
Nice job - Just remember if you decide to build one, you still need to pay some attention to her too :)
Folks, this is a bot. No wife acts like this.
It's refreshing to see somebody who can take a car from start to finish and do a quality job throughout. Well done.
Along with all of the rest of your fantastic workmanship, the wiring stood out to me as an example of true craftmanship. Which is something that gets overlooked far too often. Beautiful build!
God Bless Summit, cant beat that carb cost and suprising quality
Its a autolite 4100 replica / a very nice carb - didn't need to jet it our anything / just setup the idle and it was good out of the box. Now i didn't put an O2 sensor in the pipes, but its definitely not burning rich either / highly recommend. Go Summit!
A hand built hot rod for @30,000 k. Double stamp your man card, she's a beauty.
Kit & parts: $30,000
Pride and satisfaction of doing it yourself: Priceless
Great job, and awesome car. Thanks for sharing.
and 3 years work. some of the parts should have been sand blasted and powder coated.
According to my toyota dealership.. If you include the cost of labor it comes to just around one billion dollars.. Lol
Great job.. My dream car.
Mine was 2,000 hours labor including re-do's and upgrades. That's $130,000 labor! Most builds are about 400 hours labor.
Do not have someone build it.... Build it yourself!!
@@BradThePitts- You can bring that price down if you work for minimum wage, $11.00 per hr.
LOL! so true

Satisfaction of looking at the finished product knowing you built this masterpiece, priceless!!!
Admitting up front that I could never complete this build - at least I now know what it takes !! Great video and great looking Cobra 🎉

Nicely done. Thanks for taking the time and showing us the break down.
I've been wanting to pull the trigger on this kit for well over 10 years. It's great to see someone actually do it. Good job.
You should go for it sir. We're not getting any younger. Also, we're not taking this money with us when we die..
My two cents is, "Get out and do it, buddy"! I hope you get the chance.
You guys are right, I’m going to do it. I just received my new FFR catalog and I’m going through all the options for my car. I will go with a full kit with IRS and I’ll also order the other rear end components from them as well unless I can find a 2015 Mustang that someone is parting out. I will have cup holders also. Are all you Ford guys sitting down? I’m putting an LS 1 in my car. 😳
@@jnsfrahm did u do it
@@HiddenGully yes I did. I ordered my kit on 21 July. I’m currently looking for an engine/trans combo.
That’s definitely the dream car to build ! No better one . Yours looks fantastic ! I’ve had several hot rods in my day but have always wanted a cobra !
Outstanding workmanship. You built an excellent car in a frugal manner without taking any cheap shortcuts. Well done!
I'm not generally a fan of FF, but major kudos to you for a complete start to finish build, including motor and doing your own paint. Not a lot of folks out there would be willing to take that on.
quick tip: add stripes on the car for 500+ more hp
Haha - isn't that the truth / strips are in the long term plan and I'll take the HP that goes with it! Thanks for the comment!
Wait a minute now, don't forget the turbo charging impact of dingo balls along the window sill and a Hawaiian hip-swerving hula Girl on the dash. Nobody'll come near you man !!!
Well it depends what color stripes you get for instance red stripes on a red car cancels this effect 🤫
i think you did a huge favor for those who are considering such a project. thanks
2015, I ordered a FFR MK-IV complete kit (chromed out) and a coyote crate engine. Total cost was $50k, which included 8k for paint - color coat and clear coat only. The complete kit was nice because I didn't have to keep running to the auto supply store. I just had to hunt for parts in boxes in my garage. From delivery to DMV registration took 8 months. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment Wayne - you can't go wrong with the complete kit route either - that coyote is a sweet motor too. So big question: What color did you paint it? stripes? I'm getting ready to put some stripes on mine
@@TacoJoeYour color turned out well, but painting in a home garage is more that tough. I do home repair, and even just doing poly urethane, I get dust all of the time.
Great project, great skills, and great video. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for an excellent breakdown on build and cost. Sir, you have a wide and deep set of skills - outstanding Cobra!
Thank you for putting that video together. I appreciate the honesty, and a good assessment of the actual costs. I love your car! Good job!
Taco Joe, YOU RULE ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this. You made my day !
As a fellow car builder and owner, I totally commend you. You’re all about the functionality and cleanliness merged into one...like myself. Bravo, buddy.
Bravo! Well done. Thanks for your straightforward truthfulness! Priceless! 🔥
The spirit of Carroll Shelby was with you at no charge!
I am impressed how clean everything is. Starting with the garage itself, the electrical wiring, the rebuilt drive and engine parts... just smashing. Better than new.
Great work and honestly, I think you spent just about the right amount to do a quality build yourself. Plus, it's really difficult to put a $ on the self-satisfaction index when you stand back and know you did the entire build on your own.
What a great looking Cobra. You are a genius. Your skill and patience is remarkable. Really enjoyed the video. That too was great.
Great job Joe. Your handy works of Cobra looks/sounds awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Nice job with the video and it's content. From where I sit, the info provided on your channel is priceless. Thanks!
This is a great video and well done on a phenomenal build. It’s really good to see the costs laid out.
Extremely impressive. Your knowledge of mechanics and assembly is amazing. The car looks great, and to think you built it yourself and know every inch of it, is incredible.
C’s
That's a beautiful ride! Can't think of another car design that has aged as well as the cobra. It's timeless! Love it!
A completely fantastic build and write up. The job you did was not only an accomplishment but a completely professional looking build in the end.
Congrats.
That was one of the best videos I’ve seen on UA-cam. Thank you for opening up your books on this build.
Thanks for the nice comment / glad you liked it!
Stunning example of what can be accomplished with ambition and know how. Great job!
A perfected work of art, congratulations on that project from start to finish and Thank You for sharing this as well...
Awesome job!! From the build to the cost breakdown it's a great video as well. Thanks for sharing!
Great upload - Thank you for your time spent on producing this video
I feel younger just watching you build this amazing piece of mechanical art. Always loved this car, a shear beauty. Wish I had one, just like yours, same color too.
Steve Spanos I’m a high school kid and I damn love this beauty, along with their super cars, at that point I might send a LS7 engine block to COSWORTH for tuning along with turbocharging,
Crazy, huh? It would be awful if people were selling ready racing engines? Judd is fantastic for that :)
You did a beautiful job. The pride of knowing that you build a whole car is priceless too. You are right for the money there’s nothing new that can touch this beautiful car.
Beautiful Cobra, thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Well done build,you have all the skills and a logical process for getting the most bang for your buck.
U have great mechanical skills and u made an amazing replica. Hats off to u my friend.
Holy Crapozoid batman! FREAKIN AWESOME!
Way to go! That stuff has me drooling like a newborn baby!!!
Awesome job. Great build and terrific way to put it together
The key is in your skills. Congratulations!!! Beautiful Cobra.
Thank you for that - Really want timeless looks, reliability with performance, this just can't be beat! - Nice work!
Rad build man. Thanks for sharing the details!
Awesome car, nicely done and like you said, the fun factor is way up there.
10 out of 10 review. Well done, beautiful car!
Beautiful Build love the wiring and breakers. So very neat and organized.
Nice! Thanks for sharing! Love the final color too!
Mad Skillzz ✌️😎
Respect &
Great Kit Work
Thank you for posting this! Many people are way too secretive or embarassed to say how much the TRUE cost is to build one of these little monsters.
Only when telling the wife LOL
Add $10k in 2024.
Great summary and what a beauty ! Thanks ! Hope to start mine in 2021 !
Love it!!! Came out awesome!!! Thank you for sharing your build!
Very good analysis on the hard cost for for a cobra replica build (whether it be a FF or any other iteration of the cobra). Also a lot of common sense, I've seen so many builds with the 500hp motor and 10k paint jobs. At the end of the day when you take it to a cars and coffee or the like, from 10 feet away, 99 out of a100 people wont know the difference between your build or 100k CSX. Its all about the fun, the experience and nothing wrong with sweat equity
That said, very nice build, glad to see a replica with no fake badging and signatures.
if people want 500hp and a real paint job, let them. if people want to do it themselves and save 9,85k, let them too.
@you're stupid I painted my original csx car with paint from the same place. My car cost $4,995 when I purchased it in 1968.
Man your car is super clean and also the attention to details when building it.. props man
Wish I had the time and $$$ for a build like this
Watching this made my head spin ..... Informative, useful, nauseating, but in learning situation eyeopening.
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@TacoJoeplease build mine! I live your knowledge and skill.
Thank you for publishing this viedo. Awesome job. Love you're car.
Congratulations, this looks to be by far the most viewed video about Factory fires in history! Well deserved.
Im very impressed, you ended spending a whole lot less than i thought you could get away with and in turn, you've got a magnificent piece of machinery, good job my friend & best of luck with your beautiful ride!👍👍😊
Really really nice build! Thanks for sharing
My one and only wish, 427 Cobra w/ 5 speed stick. I can dream, can't I? O well. Dream on. Very nice job Joe.
Thank you very very much for demonstrating the actual cost of a quality bufget build and your thoroughness in the component list. I totally agree that (1) a quality budget build is totally worth it and (2) its very hard to beat what you builtby writing a check for 30k. Thanks again and enjoy the car.
Man, what a great video! I thought it should be around $30k from my math but it stressed me out to actually watch the numbers add up like that. This was a nice learning experience for me so thank you for listing everything and including so much detail!! Absolutely beautiful car!
I gotta give you a lot of respect for this accomplishment. A very inspiring story. Thank you.
Thanks joe for the great information will be starting my new build soon
That’s awsome man! Congratulations on one bad ass car
Nice job. Looks like you have a lot of mechanical ability so that plays into someone's ability to do it cheaper than others. Impressed on all the things you did outside the kit. I hope to build one some day in the next few years.
Nicely done. Your attention to detail speaks volumes.
Great job. Very thorough. Results speak for themselves.
How awesome, thank you! I spent 25k on my build in 2001 money. Nice work, by the way. The car looks beautiful!
That is a huge accomplishment. I could never put together an entire car basically from scratch.
super video. I attended the FFR build school back in 2017 and got a crash course on how to build the roadster. Ended up buying an ERA, but I like FFR as well.
The biggest challenge I bet would be putting this baby together. I do feel very partial to this car. I love old-school roadsters.
Thank you for answering all my questions! I have always been wanted to do one! I can foresee being able to build it, however I have never painted.
Use a paint shop. Seriously.
Wow you did a lot of work yourself...my Brother built a beautiful FF Cobra...they are awesome cars...well done sir!
I'm not even going to finish the video yet I'm thinking about a 40k +/- figure? Beautiful work by the way! Excellent job.
Thanks for posting. You built a beautiful car.
I don't have the skill set to do all of that, kudos to you for handling it all yourself.
Fuck that negativity man, you can do it
@@tjrizvi251 - You know what they say "Don't practice on your favorite car".
Hundreds of Average Joe's have built Factory Fives with no prior experience except maybe building a BBQ. The newest kit is easier to build than ever before, and there's a striving online community to support people. You can do it!
@@BradThePitts Exactly. That said if you have a problem following simple directions like those found in a Ikea box well....
Me and my dad are gonna build one there skill compared to ours is gonna be a major difference
You did it yourself. Priceless!
This is my dream car.... even though i have minimal car knowledge, its always something ive wanted to build. Im getting through college right now but right out of the gate imma start saving so i can go for it. The car skills i pick up along the way will be a great plus
Add it your bucket list / the build was a life experience for me/family and was a great period in my life (good times) - thanks for the comment!
Great job outlining the cost of this build. Your Cobra looks awesome!! Enjoy.
I can’t wait to see what you’ll build next 👍
my girlfriend doesn't want me around something that beautiful...
Mike B my man, your a geinus
That's because she knows it can lead to a new or another girlfriend.
Get a new girlfriend
Us neither
Don't worry
Great video. Humourous bits made me smile! Very informative and detailed. Thank you!
IM 😎
wow - incredible breakdown my man - thanks for doing this video
Wow, I actually thought I would someday build my own Cobra. I'm a Contractor/Mechanic. But building your own aluminum boxes running all the wiring and if you have time Prime and paint?......... I'm trying to stay married. After restoring an E-Type Jaguar my garage privileges have been scaled down to parking my Vette in it :) But someday I will buy one. Dude good for you on your skills (Dude factor 10). I loved the production value of your video nicely done.
If your marriage survived an E-Type, you've got a solid one...
Mark Bergren, wow! You are married to a woman (?) who tells you what you can and can’t do? I’m sorry but I’m married also yet my wife doesn’t tell me what to do.
Now to be honest, I do discuss major purchases and plans with her. But if I really want something, particularly a car or truck, she never tells me NO. We discuss finances and if it’s something that I REALLY REALLY want, she only wants to know how much fun will she get out of it. Of course, I will let her drive things first if that’s what she wants. But something as powerful as the FFR Cobra that I would build, she would definitely want me to teach her the ins and outs of how to handle it before she gets behind the steering wheel. She is extremely beautiful (she keeps me close to her when we go anywhere since she gets hit on every time I wander off) but also extremely smart. She knows her limitations and since I have driven in SCCA and NHRA (stock to Top Fuel) she defers to me when it comes to fast vehicles. Then, of course, I teach her and she catches on quickly so she starts slowly but doesn’t take long to get up to speed.
Maybe if you get your wife involved with it she will be more apt to say yes. It never hurts to see. That is unless you want to be away from her. If that’s the case, you’re on your own. Sorry my friend.

Its cheaper than divorce in the long run
Mark Bergren simp
Who cares if it’s not the real thing? What matters is the fun and excitement you get from building all on your own and then driving it! Well done!
They probably work better than the originals too.
@@robertoferrari5397 Agreed because they have the modern touch with original look.
It is just as real as the original. It's a reproduction, that's better than the original.
Such an amazing car. I think it's great how you really put the work and love into this machine. Thanks for sharing with us :)
100% best breakdown.....Great Job and Beautiful Cobra!!!!
Great video. I always wondered what kind of budget one of these required. Now I know.
very informative and entertaining...thank you for posting...big thumbs up for the humor as well...
The key - ideal sponsorship would be summit lol that would be absolutely wonderful 😅 enjoy your amazing car & all the moments of joy 🎉
That would be cool!
Great job, Mr. It's a pleasure to watch. Thanks. An artist!
I'm a retired mechanic. You, sir, are a true craftsman. Excellent quality build. Showed lots of details that most vids don't show. Love your sense of humor. But... no high 5? You might want to raise the pay of your pit crew. You know what they say: A happy pit crew makes for a happy pit : )
I couldn’t have said it better myself / thanks for the comment Paul
Happy wife, happy life.
