If I am going to spend thousands of hours and dollars on building a car, I will build it how I want, and do not care if it is original or not.

I love the original type cars too, but that is not for me.

I do not like Cobra's with "shopping lists" on the side of the car, but I do not have a go at someone just because they do......

Default No Matter How Hard You Try

WOW!

Some people tend to forget what a Cobra is or stands for, it was a race car that was put together from what parts Carroll could con out of people and put together a car with a simple idea, make it lite and give it a much power as possible.

While I appreciate and admire an authentic replica, they are still replicas, what does interest me is when a builder much like Carroll puts together a car with what is available today.

I think we should call our cars "Tributes" to the Cobra and enyoy recreating how the original come about in a small way.

If you want to put 22 inch wheels with a pink paint job, go for it, I would like to see it. If you want to be sure you have the correct formula for Guardsman blue when you paint the car well I would like to see that too.

Don't ever squash imagination or creativity, because that is why we have a Cobra to replicate in the first place.

My 50 cents.

Phil
