Hey, lets play Cobra Trivia:

Q? How many hours does it take to build a cobra.
A; I don't know as of yet, ask again in 3 months;

Q? If a person has worked 175 hours to build a cobra, how much would they have completed?
A; Just almost nothing that you can show to someone else and say "look at what I have done".

Ok, I can tell you readers don't wanna play that game any more.

Update: After 175 hours the car is totally stripped and apart, all that is left is the rear end is still in tact, the cowl is still sitting on frame. Parts are in boxs, sitting on floor, other wrapped for coating. But, the car is at the basic point of starting at point one.

Today I spent 4 hours grinding welds and weld splatter off the front end and removing the motor and trans and some clean up for another 5 hours. I figure about another 8 hours of prep and I wll be ready to prime the frame and prime the cowl. Hoping to have the frame and cowl painted by next wednesday, with no interuptions that should be easy enough to get accomplished. then back to replumbing the brakes and run wiring etc....

gotta go do some research on ceramic coating.

Question for you, this time a real one.
Would a 200 or 250 pound front spring be acceptable for a softer, daily driver type ride? i think the 375's i have got are going to be too rough for my old back and butt to endure.
