Talking New pictures,

Hi guys,
I know for some of you my build is going fairly slow, but as some of you also know life gets in the way sometimes. Anyway take a look at my new pics.
I finished mock-up, took her apart and started detailing the frame and suspention. New black epoxy on the chassis and started putting her back togther. I know all of you that have built one of these, or any car, know the feeling I have now that the engine and trans are in and the wheels are on. I cant stop smiling. Thanks for looking, Sam

Looks awesome. I didn't, and couldn't, build my own car. I think I would feel a lot of pride if I had.. but I like driving too. Congrats... remember to record the sound of the first time it goes vroom and post it for us to share with you.

James

Sam,

Took me just over 2 years to build my A & C. I know what you are feeling. Take your time, do things right the first time. Take many pics. I wish I had taken more. Your build looks great, I remember the joy of each major accomplishment during the build and the satisfaction. Keep us posted on your progress. And remember warm weather is comming to Upstate NY in a few short months, so keep building!

Best Regards,

Default Build time

Don't feel bad on your build time, mine took me 12 years to finish. I started with just a frame and bought just parts , doing all the work myself. Very hard with a lot of advise from this web site I don't mind adding. A divorce, a house, some stuff got in the way but it's finally done. Your pictures look great.

Sam, When you get the car finished you will need a place to go! WEGMANS in Canandaigua has a GREAT cruise night every thursday during the summer. Sure would like to see your car! I hope to have mine on the road this summer too! Hope to see you THERE!

Default Nice

Sam,

Together with my wife and two sons, we made our build a family project. To hear my wife tell it, she always says, "It was a real adventure".

The way I see it, there are only three kinds of Cobra people, those who buy a newly built Cobra, those who buy a Cobra that someone else built, and those who build them themselves.

I am sure that I, like many of the others in here, built many models cars in our youth. Building a Cobra is the ultimate model, so to speak, you get to build it, start it, and drive it.

Good luck with your build and I am sure you will have many lifetime memories.

Also, don't forget, if you run into any snags, reach out to us as we are always willing to help.

Tony
