Fantastic Craig, just how a Cobra should look.
Should be more of them.

Beautiful car Craig. You should be very proud of your efforts. You've got fantastic attention to detail.
Looking forward to seing it in the flesh.
Cheers

Very very nice Craig. When are you going to find time to drive it??
Are your rims Vintage wheels?
And I remember you saying you got your Avids just before they were discontinued, you lucky B!!
Cheers
Steve

Lovely Craig and the old-school look is what I am going for as well. I noticed the shift lever is the same as mine and also that these angle to the left (most are from the USA). Is that a problem or could one re-face the base where it bolts on to straighten it up a a little? Maybe this is not even needed?
Would love to know where you had the spats made and who did your exhaust as I will need one made in two weeks or so.

Also Craig, who did the carpets? They look very simple and I was also going for the same style.

A very sensible old-school choice!
Last year I ran the Yokos for the drags, go-too-slow and hillclimb. I figured I coudn't warm the Michelin 17's enough for grip. After this year's Shelbyfest I've decided to run the Michelins for all events. Can't be THAT cold again in Goulburn! The Yokos go well but can't match a track tyre.

Yeah, the Yoko's are a great street tyre for cruising or spirited fun. I'm really liking them, much better than the alternatives here.
Definitely not at home on the track. Good choice Richard, run the Michelins for all events regardless of air temp.

Fantastic

Congratulations. A fine piece of work.
It looks as good in these photos as it does in the flesh.
Well done.

Curious about your ali radiaitor and cooling comment.
With my rebuild an ali radiator will be used, though Marty has already installed his radiator style support onto my chassis and will make the radiator vertical. Have to admit I though my car was running a touch cold so will be wporking on a way to better regulate operating temperature so that it stays at least warm.
But by your comment do you mean it takes longer for the system to heat up at idle or what is the effect you've noticed?
Oh and once again, well done on the build it looks fabulous. How did you manage the cranky Carroll signature on the dash?
Cheers
Steve
