[Double Venom]

Klayfish, You think your having a hard time keeping up! We're putting in 10 and twelve hour days in the shop! I used to sneak onto the shop computer at lunch, but hey, most of us aren't even taking lunch anymore! If it wasn't for Mrs. DV's Cookies I'd be skinny!

Brett, take no offense but your ignorance, or better put, your lack of knowledge is dangerous. At least 12 Cobras burned to the ground last few years becuase of poorley made fuel lines, or improper installation. There were at least four fatalities that included the seats being torn loose from the car. Dozens of accidents because of improper brakes. Do we hear about these? Almost never! Who is going to admit they used the wrong fuel line for an EFI engine. Who will admit they didn't know that all brake lines are to be doubled flared? Who would admit that they mixed and matched brake components, only to work at slow speed, but when a sudden "stop" was needed their brakes wouldn't lock up.

How about the Cobras that started all by themselves. Or the ones that caught fire hours after they were parked? How about the ones that were simply driving around after dark and for no reason the headlights, or for that matter all the lights went out for no apparent reason?

Want me to go on? Hell I've just got started!

WE CAN NOT JOIN THE NSRA! UNLESS YOU CAN PROVE YOUR COBRA WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT PRE 1948!

No, it is not our intention to inspect your frames, your welds, or anything else your kit manufacture supplies or makes.

YES, this is for all Cobras. Eventually I would personally like to see all home built, self assembeled, kit cars included. Someday, but for now, we are the ones in the ugly limelight. NSRA is NOT an elitist group, they only have their heads out of the sand and have had for over 25 years. They had the same problems years ago that we are facing now. They didn't withdraw, they didn't hide and hope the problem would go away. They faced the challange on their own, and we will too.

As Steve indicated, everyone of our "Streetrods" roll out of the shop with the proud small "NSRA" decal in the bottom left corner of the windshield.

I hope I live long enough to see the same type decal on our Cobras.

DV..It IS for you. Not your neighbor, not for me, not for Seve nor anyone else but, simply you and yours.

PS.. The State legal definition of "our" cars is. "Self assembeled Vehicle".
