Comeing along nicely. There is a big part of me that wishes I built mine instead of buying it. Next time I will do it. Looks like you are having a lot of fun.

Build update 9-4-07
I got the bright idea that I needed some extra elbow room, so i fired up the sawall and this is what I came up with......

Did you glass the modification?
|
wow, that's good build so far. Have you posted your build on FFCobra.com ? Your door modification would get some people asking you to keep them posted as I'm sure some have thought about this lack of room but nobody I know of has ever done what you did. YOU'd give a lot of people some hope.
Keep up the good work; it's worthi it in the end!!!! |

289 (Herm?) I post over at FFCobra as P Wyman and was very surprised no one has done this before. I didn't think I had an original idea in my body :LOL: Here's a link to my first post Driverside door mod (Update w/ picts 9/4) - FFCobra.com - Factory Five Racing Discussion Forum Pat |
Morris Clement did the same mod to his aluminium door on his Kirkham. Yours and his turned out great. By the way I have been reading some of your stuff over on the FFR forum. You're doing a great job. I am building a Daytona Coupe.

I'm back!
WOW, had to take a little time off to take care of some family business but I'm back and working on my Cobra. I want it on the road for the Summer Run in Lake George, NY. I'll post some more pictures in a short while

Mate
It looks nice, real nice but..........you've put the steering wheel on the wrong side! keep up the good work |
Pat, glad things are going well on your build but I do have one point that needs your attention. As I was going through your posts I noticed your avatar and then found that that pic is NOT in your CC photo album. Don't be holdin' out on da homys man!:D

Guys!
Been a while since my last build update so I thought I would share. I have all my paper work into DMV (wish me luck ;)) and finishing up a few details (Fit the hood, add mirrors...) I'm running this year in gel-coat and getting the bugs out. I'll paint it over next winter ('68 Highland Green). May not be up to Garage Freak's build but I couldn't be happier! This journey began during the Summer of '03 with the purchase of a rusted out '87 GT (used the bell-housing & parking brake handle :eek:) I can't tell you how many things have gotten in the way but I kept at it! Looking forward the summer and making some real noise! :D http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o...ril1520093.jpg Sorry about the crappy scanned in pics, my digital camera went AWOL! Thanks, Pat |
Hi could you please tell me where did you get the external boot hinges
cheers Damo |

100% road legal as of 6-5-09 :3DSMILE: Picked up my kit on 2-26-05, only took me 4 years and a little over 3 months :eek:
You can't wipe the smile off my face with a 2 X 4!! :D Still need to finish the interior and paint it BRG but that can wait until winter, I'm driving the wheels off it this summer! Pat |
Pat,
Car looks good! I have a lot of respect for guys that build their own car. I dont have the patience or skill so I went with a Superformance. Where in upstate NY area are you?? |
Steve,
Thanks for the kind words, I'm located near Albany, in East Greenbush. Are you planning on going to the Lake George Run July 10-12. Great time. Closer to you, I'm also planning on going to "Snakes & Grapes" along Lake Seneca August 1 &2, never been but the wife is a huge wine fan and she is looking forward to the wineries. Link: http://www.ffcobra.com/forums/showth...ghlight=Grapes I'm trying to run the wheels off mine! Pat |
