There’s many many more items I’m fixing or improving. I turned the corner last weekend and now everything is going back together. The original body and bare chassis and suspension are gorgeous on this kit. Whoever finished it from there originally should be shot though. 😂. I love this little thing and can’t wait to get it on the road.

Ah yes, in the days of, and prior to "cash for clunkers", I picked up a number of poorly built, or highly neglected Cobra kits and finished cars.....Too good to be true, of course they were, every single one of them. But when they left my garage, they were all nicely gone through and street worthy. Take things one step at a time, one set of components at a time, and slowly, you will get to the point where the car is once again safe to drive.
