Looks fantastic in many aspects.

Love that intake especially the linkage underneath. ;)

But curiosity gets to me.

How do you pull up with handbrake in an emergency stop, as part of an inspection test? I would not be able to reach it while driving, and I'm 6ft.

Wow what a build. To own a Cobra is a dream of mine but unfortunately when you achieve a goal or obtain a dream you are often left wondering what now. I m sure when I finally own a Cobra I will always have this build to aspire to and want.

Hello Gaz,

It would be hard to reach the handbrake in a harness but with seatbelt it is fine. I would move it but like the original position.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Ben,

I thought that would be the case.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Guys. I recently went to a hot rod meeting. They were discussing and approved for hot rod use. electric operated park brakes. It is a worm and gear setup. Meaning that even if there is a total loss of power. The park brake will not release. The setup pulls on the standard type park brake cable. Sorry I didn't get the make. But I can chase it up if there is interest. The park brake lever position is a problem in both Cobras and Hot rods with the lack of room. Awesome build Beejay
