Because he has "walked the walk." So have a lot of us. Below is my most recent endeavor to keep my car roadworthy.

Just this week I needed to find a replacement suspension part for the right side of my car. Between me and a Cobra builder who is good at 'networking', just one NOS part was located in the U.S. We bought it.

I also decided I'd replace the same component on the left side suspension. Again, just one NOS part was located in the U.S. We bought it. This 2nd part wasn't even located in the same area of the U.S. as the first part I bought.

Why are these parts so scarce? These donor parts for my car were previously "used". They had been sourced as donor parts for my car back in 1994, by the kit manufacturer. The donor vehicle for these two parts: a 1970 Galaxie. There may be more of these NOS parts available somewhere, but probably through someone who knows someone who MAY have one.

When each of these two newly purchased parts are received, they must be modified before fitted to my Cobra.

This website can provide a plethora of info for a new Cobra enthusiast. Your rebuttals come across in a somewhat inflammatory style.
