Owner built on a budget;

Hey guys thanks for the vote of confidence and support, problem is I already know way too many people at summit on a first name basis.

Bob, come on by, door is always open to gearheads,

My approach to resto: During disassembly I like to prep all pieces that are destined to go back on the car. this is why I am polishing the rims now. these things are old, and while never having been driven the decay has already set in. I had to sand them some and then begin to polish them back.

They are compotive TFN's 16 inch size with brandnew goodrich tires, about 8 or 10 inches wide. they will look just fine. I am lucky they came on the car when I bought it.

Worked half hour last nite trying to get these photos downsized to upload, no luck yet, Maybe soon.

Screw that, you've got a car to build:

1. Go to www.flickr.com an open a free account. Then load your pics there in hi-res.

2. After you load them up, at the top of each pic there is a button called "All Sizes." Click on that and at the bottom of each pic it has a box called " Grab the photo's URL." Copy that link.

3. Then come back here, open your post, hit the little yellow button above with the mountain on it and paste the photo link in that pop-up box and close it. It'll stick your nice hi-res flickr-hosted pics into your thead.

Looks like a fun Project to me! I considered many kits before ordering my ERA which I mostly assembled in my garage. Many of us here have done complete restorations even if some bought their Cobra's as Turnkey. A lot of knowledge here & I'm sure just as many wanting to learn! Good luck on your project. Hopefully we see it on the road one day soon!
