Cool

Great video Jeff! It's unfortunate with the resources that Bruce Myer has ($) and the historical significance of CSX2001 that it was not restored as per the way it was originally delivered by Ed Hugus to his good friend Dr Milo. Not only was 2001 the first Cobra delivered to a customer it was also the first Cobra prepared for competition by the manufacturer as Dr Milo was an avid racer and bought it to race. I truly hope that when the car was converted from "worm and sector" steering to "rack and pinion" that the frame stantion (with Von number) was not removed?! It's a nice car but I believe that an injustice was done given what the car stands for. If you google CSX2001 I believe you can find home videos that were taken when the Cobra was first delivered. Bruce should have started with a later rack car to build his version of what a "Cobra" represents to him, nice job though
