Period, not a comma. Fake Doc must have flunked English as well.

I'll have that in it once it's cut, buffed and ceramic coated.
No, no daily driver. Of course, neither is your Corvette.
I could get a soft top for (last I heard years ago) for $2500 and they leak anyway. I did get caught in a heavy downpour about an hour away from home once. I needed a bilge pump when we got home.
Mine has that "race car" rumble and it's loud, especially with the sidepipe 3 feet from your ear. It's actually the most uncomfortable car I've ever driven. But it does have leather interior and 5 point harness.
It has a solid 2X4 steel frame, Willwood (non-power) racing brakes, fully independent susp, Jaguar rear end and rack and pinion (non-power) steering for the modern upgrades. It is a replica after all. A modest change from the '87 Lincoln Mark VII LSC that previously occupied my garage.
It's sharp, and has a distinguished look to it, just as I'm sure your Vette does. It's really fun to drive. I got in with about 10 or so guys from a car club of local small towns and outskirts and we travel to car shows together. I bought this thing to drive. It was the dream of an 8 yr. old kid who first saw one back then. Lots of nice cars around here. We country hicks like our hot rods too, you'll find some of the best mechanics around here.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
If I were a wealthy man with a collection,
all registered, insured, maintained, and in summer months, driven,
it would definitely include a car like your Cobra--289 and 427 Cobras, in fact--complete with the race car vibe which I didn't choose for the '62 Fuelie.
When you're not Jay Leno and only have one, and that's me since the Lincoln looks like a pipedream, you have to decide how you want to go with it.
There are lots of options. Despite modern suspension, steering, and brakes on the aftermarket chassis,
similar to C4 except coilovers instead of the transverse leaf, the new "fuelie" has less race car vibe than does the original configuration,
just on the strength of efi and no solid lifter sound. The old hot cams didn't have valve spring metallurgy to tolerate very high lift, so they did it all with overlapping duration which idled horribly.
Some people love the sound, but I'm an old grump, right?
I wish, by the way, that Total Controls Products, which has tons of aftermarket products which allow one to upgrade a vintage Gen I Mustang without going to major full frame conversion,
also offered that same gear for the mid-eighties Thunderbirds and Lincoln MkVIIs like yours. Those were great cars to hot rod if only the aftermarket supported it.
Who wouldn't rather have a MkVII than some ubiquitous Chevelle SS or GTO or 442? Please.
As for country mechanics, NASCAR was invented by them, but they all, in my own limited experience, seem to love carburetion more than efi.
EFI adds so much to normal street drivability if you're fussy about stuff like that.
When they electrified Hilborn eight-stack, that was probably the ultimate, but they're gone, now.
Having no car maintenance skills whatsoever, I don't have to worry about what's better for DIY.
