Wazza's Cobra update.

[Wazza]

FINALLY getting near the end...

Well...didn't that FOUR years fly by ?....Lucky I've had the Race car to get my Cobra "fix".

Anyway....

Not long now,

After the trimmer who PROMISED that the interior would be done in three weeks...took three and a half MONTHS so far...and should be all done "in another week or so"

APPARENTLY I had to wait until the German Cows that had my leather on them ....died.

It must have happened recently 'cause everything has arrived...and all the panels are now done and just need to "throw in the carpet and leather ".

The dash is done, and some of the centre console/foot wells etc.

I hope that the next post will be me jumping up and down because it's all done...but I don't want to jinx it, so I'll just throw in a couple of pics of stuff we did today, and some other bits of the dash etc.

FINALLY got around to changing those Chevy engine covers...they still have some polished stainless panels to be fitted yet...but I'm happy with how they look in the engine bay so far.





And...

The roll bars...they've been sitting there for two years...but hadn't been cleaned up and polished until now.

Scotty got to them and cleaned up the welding, and polished them to perfection.





Also asked Scotty to make some oval shaped besels for the rear stays , so that they look like they would match the look of the other besels...REALLY happy with the job.



Hoping my idea of the panel in the middle of the dash...holding all of the gauges will look o.k.
( I know it's not everyone's cup of tea...But I'm trying something a bit different)..





so I'll be happy if it looks o.k., when we get all of the interior done, and hopefully it will look how it does " In My Head"...If you know what I mean.

We'll see how it all looks when it's finished..

I can always redo it if it looks shi*house.

Back to the trimmers in a couple of days...has assured me that all the hard work is done, and should take no time at all to finish it off..

Then just a few tidy up jobs...testing , and wheel allignments, brake adjustments..etc..etc..etc.

AND THEN ......IT'S REGO TIME !!

YAAAAYYYYY !!!!

Stay Tuned,

Regards,
Warren.

Come on Waz; you're so close!
Big effort now over the next two weeks.
I can tell you that getting your car registered on Christmas Eve is one very special feeling.... Go for it!!

That dash looks sensational Wazza

A beautiful job allround.

The advantage you get by having done it before and being patient enough to take the time to get it right.

Contrasted with busting hurry that I felt when building my car.....you just want to get it finished

Ahhhhh, next time
