My wife has a similar affliction, she gets pancritatous (?sp) attacks when we're away, last time we were in Myrtle Beach and she needed to see the inner workings of the local hospital. Hope all is well and you have a speedy (cobra style recovery)!!

Hi Brent,
Glad to see you are recovering and writing to all of us. I too can say that ClubCobra has been a very positive impact on my life, and many friends. I just realized I've been a member coming up to 10 years myself. Wow, it's been that long since my first Cobra. I saw your note here about WSCB... and just wanted to comment on that some if I may. I know you know this, but others may not...

WSCB was started, developed, and carried out all through Clubcobra and because of members who wanted to put faces to the names. As we talked about more than a few at WSCB, if you had not created Clubcobra, there would have never been a Western States Cobra Bash, and a LOTof people would never met to become close friends. Now there are sub-groups and sub-events as a result, again..., all because of CC and one thing that lead to another.

I too am 8-weeks post-op now, and as I'm sure you are aware - these downtime periods always give one time to reflect on life and what's important.

What's important for me to convey is how appreciative so many of us are that you created and shared ClubCobra with all of us. Thanks again Brent. Speedy recovery brother, and Happy New Year! DC

Hello Brent,
all the best wishes for 2009 from Luxembourg and a quick recovery. You have certainly noticed that my car is just 10 numbers lower then your's? As I work on other projects too, KMP276 is at last almost finished. I hope to be able to take it on the road the first days of spring. It has a FIA body, I just finished the wiring and dash like on the FIA cars. The engine is a '65 HiPo which I had through a friend in Ohio. He also rebuilt it, it has the Autolite 4V carburetor, 271HP. As I intend to drive it only on sunny days, it won't have a top, heater and such accessories. I'll send you some pictures when it's ready.
All the best, Jean.

What a great story! I wish you a speedy recovery too.

I appreciate Club Cobra for all the advice and information I have found, going on three years.

I stumbled on CC, right AFTER I made a deposit to Street Beasts

for my Cobra. I "vented" pretty good on CC to start, but was quickly encouraged by other Street Beasts owners on CC, that it could all work out.

In 2008, I tried to sell my "un-started" kit on Craigs list and e-bay, about three times each: failing each time. I told my wife I only had one choice: build it.

Now, as I told her, "the Gates of Hell" can't stop me now!

I ran into problems with the way the rear end was lining up, right off the bat. I turned to Club Cobra Street Beasts owners again, and got a solution to my problem.

I know Street Beasts owners are in the minority on Club Cobra, but we are just as proud as any others.

I thank all of the members of Club Cobra for being so willing to share what they have experienced and how they solved problems.

Happy New Year Club Cobra and keep it going!

Sincerely,

I still am collecting parts/pieces ( and $$$) for my Cobra. Getting closer! I have met many nice people here and helped some with Ford distributor work. Have a SPEEDY recovery and give that Cobra a fast ride for me............Tim O'Connor www.428cobrajetcars.homestead.com

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery and great 2009! I've been signed up with Club Cobra for a couple years, ordered and then had to cancel a FF Cobra kit due to my wife's papillary cancer. She, by the way, beat it and is doing well!!!!!!!!!

I just pulled the trigger on the '33 Hot Rod kit from FF. I've finished the 302 rebuild, have the shop (transitioning the hanger from my pilot days to a great car shop) almost ready, and anxiously await the March delivery.

I look forward to getting to know all of you in the future and all my best.

Brent

This site provides me a daily get away from the trials and tribulations of life. It also has allowed me to find friends which would have not been possible w/o this site.
This site has introduced me to:
Nick Acton (Mickmate)
Dave Bates (bmwdb10)
Jay Bentley
Jack Launtz
Ron Richard
Mike D
Jim M
all the CCX owners Dan, Doug, Dave, Jeff, Rich, John, Ron, Tom and many more afflicted with Cobraitis.

With the CCX Forum you have given us a place to get together with added organization above and beyond what we had previous. Owners worldwide can now drop a question or a comment with simple ease.

Take care, get better and I know I am looking forward to many more years of fun!

Thank you
Jeff Gagnon

Brent;

Last December my wife agreed to starting the Cobra project, but added this was going to be a "one shot" deal, so I better get it right! Your website, the search function and contributions of many fellow Cobra addicts have been of great help "getting it right".

Thanks for all your work administrating the website. And best wishes for a quick post op recovery.

And thanks to your wife for her support on your first Cobra project. Without her support, would any of this happened???
