It looks great. I completely re-did mine five years ago, so I know how you feel. Congrats.

No offense to the original builder, but I like it much better now.

Nice work!

I know this Cobra.

Lex bought if from Jack.

As rough as it looks and it was rough, worn out rough. The first time I saw it, I told myself, "Self don't drive that car across town or you will walk back."

Jack drove it the Daytona, Fl the month after he bought it.
He convoyed with us to the LCS that year. On Sunday we all drove to the college to watch the auto cross. Jack left the auto cross and drove to, I think it was Akron, return to the motel that night as we were pull out to return home. Monday he drove to Penn. and a few other states before he returned to Nashville. Never a had a problem with the car.


Lex, beautiful job on the rebuild

Lex
 
I took a second look at the first pic. That pic was taken on our LCS trip. In the back ground is Lainhart enclosed trailer and Lawrence's FFR.

I think we stopped at Cracker Barrel.

I have a few pic's of Jack when he drove to Huntsville, Ala. in Feb. It was the first time I saw him and his Cobra.

Very cool that day. Very:)

I have a lot of respect and envy for you guys that build your own cars. As much as I love my cars I've got ten thumbs.
