Owner built on a budget;

[Hray]

Hey Folks; thanks for all the cudos,,,,,

i just got my neighbors pics she took at auto rama, gonna try to find a place to upload and then link them.

DV: I am working real hard to come up with the total cash to get your car. I currently have part, a guy chatted a couple days ago about purchasing my 27 track T roadester, if it goes thru that will be the rest of the cash with enough to come get it.

However, we both know that deals fall through, so I do not want to leave you hanging. So if you get another deal or offer go ahead and take it. the only reason I am selling the 27 would be to buy your car and before I take the guys money I will call you to see if still available. the guy understands that if your car is sold before he comes up with cash then our deal of off.

I know you would hold it for me, but who knows if this guy is blowing smoke or what, lots of tire kickers out there. So if your car is still available when I get the cash I will take it but if gone then that is just fine.

PS; now I am really tired, been doing yard work all day and really feel it, I would rather be building cobras.

I purchased this book at autorama on the AC shelby american cobra. Now I am confused. What do I call my car. Is it a Shelby Cobra kit, is it a 427 cobra kit, is it an AC Cobra Kit,

I thought it was a 427 body style, AC Cobra. meaning it was the cobra race car from england and not a cobra mustang made by Ford.

Maybe I should just call it a 427 Classic Roadester. But when I register it for shows and they want the make and model info what would I put. I do not want people thinking I am trying to represent it as something that it is not.

PS: I am having build update withdrawl, a few minutes ago I was cleaning shop and bringing back in my upholstery machines and it dawned on me that I do not have to post anything, and it felt strange. After 5 months of almost nitely providing updates it seems strange to not have that responsibility. Maybe this is what people feel like when they retire and all of a sudden they realize they do not have to get up and go to work. sort of lost.

maybe I will work on my facebook page and make my non cobra diary entries there until I get accustomed to this new life.

anyway please help on what I call this car.

Ray, In the few shows that I have been to; I have listed my car as:

Manufacturer: CRII
Model: Cobra
Year: 1965

Hope that helps you. I understand withdrawal issues. I haven't been able to drive my Cobra for 4 weeks. You might want to take yours for a drive. Wheel time is where it's at for me.

jim: thanks for the suggestion:

Maybe when I had my sign made I subconscientiously knew what to say.

here is the link to my facebook photo page or at least I hope it is the link.
these are the photos my neighbor took. the flickr photo page said I ran out of space so I had to find another place to put photos. there is a close up of the sign I made. I did not use the word cobra at all I figured that people would know it was a cobra when looking at it.
