Right Now the Backdraft is my favorite. I'm hoping I can find a used one in the mid 30's. Yes its got to have sidepipes. I also like the Shell Valley. The two I've seen have a taller hood scoop which I like. I think one of the key elements is to pick a company that's been in business for a while and will continue to be so you can get parts and help. I have to tell you I was very impressed with Shell Valley, very nice people to deal with and they got right back to me and I'm not even a customer. I think the next one I get excited about I'm gonna have you have a look at it. I appreciate your input and opinion. I've also looked at a car from Antiques and Collectibles. That car was beautiful, built by a guy named John York of York Sports cars in Ashland Va. I was told the car was tied up in a bankruptcy and then it disappeared from Cobra Country. John said he would get back to me when he could sell the car.
