The fiberglass is certainly well seasoned. Your body is from back in the day when they were of great quality. The body I bought from Jack, 3 1/2 years ago took $10K in body work to get up to acceptable standards. By the time I got this body, he was very ill and in bad shape phisically and Fiscally. The body I wound up with had been fitted to a very different frame and required lots of alerations in addition to all the work required to get the doors, hood, and trunk to have acceptable gaps. My accepting the body was largely my fault since I took it from him long before I should but I'd been told that someone was going to padlock his shop and I wasn't about to have my car in there if that happened. I wanted a NAF body to replace the one I'd had for a long time that didn't do wo well when I took it out through the desert. My bad. All in all, an ugly situation, but have pushed through, with lots of money spent and lots of help from friends. Better luck to you!

Default NAF Build

Sorry to hear about your body troubles, I thought your car was up and running. I always liked the body and construction, just not the work they did on the gaps around the doors, hood and trunk. lots of time fixing some guys excessive sanding when mounting them. Also redid the inner fender panels to fit the frame better, redid the trunk to make it wider and deeper, cut the corners off the foot boxes for a little more header clearance and moved the roll bar and windshield forward to fit the top and side curtains. Also cut the crooked hood scoop off for a Bolton one. You tube link for giant go cart ride...

Default Wiring

Got the wiring done except for the headlights and front signals, Everything worked but the Tach, works fine after you give it the Smiths gauge poke start. Finish up a few things and then put some primer coats on it....Youtube video link of the start after pluging the dash in.

Default Wiring complete

Got the wiring done, moving projects around in the shop to start prepping the car for some primer. Couldn't resist a short drive. Link to You tube video.. NAF Cobra wired moving for prep for primer - YouTube
