not really a build thread......

Got frame straightened this morning, not too expensive. Next project is getting rid of the roll bar so I can fit the top and tonneau.

1. Everybody stares at this thing. Some even go out of their way to get close to it. Guess if I were in the market this would be pretty much a babe magnet. Also, everybody says that this is the color a cobra oughta be. Yeah, I agree.

2. Glad I went with the quicker steering. Steers like a sports car now. Effort not bad at all. I even moved the seat all the way back last nite for pretty much straight arm driving. Ingress egress much better also. Little adjustment on the clutch pedal and it will be perfect. I like it!!

3. Everybody thinks you have a bottomless wallet when you have one of these. One quote to fill in and spot paint to remove roll bar holes was $2600 and the quote to fit the factory B&B top and B&B tonneau on my B&B cobra was in excess of $1500. Not to make new ones, just to fit them, not including putting in the studs, which the guy said I had to do. Front of the top is completely done, have new bows, needs only studs for the back. Tonneau just needs studs. And if I gotta put in the studs, what did he think I was getting for my $1500+? Guess I will do all of this myself.


4. Haven't gotten familiar enough with the car to wring it out at all, but the little bit of throttle that I have used sure makes it squirt forward nicely. Sounds loud to me, but the neighbors tell me it isn't. New exhaust is in the works anyway, it needs to be black.

5. Have driven it every day for the past week. What's wrong with this for a daily driver? Certainly no worse that any other sports car I have owned. Think that I will keep it for a while.

6. It is 75 degrees and sunny and I gotta work and it's killin me.
