I fell in love with the Cobra in about 1964. I was 14 at the time and no other car has stirred my passion as much. I guess it's like a first love, you don't ever forget it.
In 1987 I was 37 years old when I ordered a body and frame Butler Racing. Since then I have worked on the car every now and then, but never enough to make a lot of progress as I do everything myself. During the last year I have really concentrated diligently on the project and on January 29, 2013 I drove the car for the first time. I'm 62 years young and the love affair that started at 14 still burns strong.
