I have a the Robbins top, and it fits my NAF quite nicely, with the exception of having raised the height of the roll bar which now precludes using it unless the roll bar is removed. If your roll bar is above the rear hoops for the soft top then it certainly WILL NOT FIT, and it isn't fair to expect them to be reponsible for that. I have used Cobra Restorers exclusively for all the needed parts including windshields. Never disappointed. Sandra has always been very accomodating. I once received a 16" Motolita Wooden Steering wheel that was improperly drillled and would not fit the OEM hub. When notified they acknowleged that they did not have a replacement on hand. They gladly replaced it when another became available. I have always been very satisfied with their parts and service.

I've only dealt with Cobra Restorers twice and both times were bad experiences. In the first one I ordered a package tray for a '66 shelby and they sent one for a '65. When contacted, Chuck said it will still fit so use it anyway. When I informed him I wanted a '66 like I had ordered, he said he would not replace it as the shipping was too expensive and if I wanted to recoup my cost for the wrong part I should try and sell it to someone around where I lived. The second time was when I ordered a hood scoop ( I know I should have learned after the first experience) and it showed up warped by about 1 3/4" from end to end, and looked like it had been hammered out by a beginning metal shop student. When I called to return it, they told me no returns were allowed until I pointed out that their web site said I could return for credit and then they backed down and allowed it to be returned for credit. There are too many companies around that provide excellent service to put up with what Cobra Restorers does.

I've ordered several small ticket items from Cobra Restorers and haven't had any problems with them. I did talk to the woman who answered once when their website wasn't working right and found her to be quite rude though.

I have ordered lots from finishline and Paula is always curtious to me. She knows I'm on the west coast and usually ask me if I want two day shipping. I have her trained I think. You have to remember no matter who you order from.......sometime chickens, sometimes feathers.............

I've gotten numerous parts from FinishLine & have been very happy. When you find someone good to do busness with, you stick with them. They've earned my business!

Just reading this stuff is bumming me out. I'm stuck with what was supposed to be a "turnkey" Cobra replica from Daryl Holliday Motorsports in Huntsville, Texas. Holliday never finished the car, (although he was paid in full), so after over three years I got so disgusted I just picked it up anyway. Now I'll have to finish it myself and it appears that buying quality parts may be a problem.
The engine spun a bearing with virtually no miles on the car, so that's being rebuilt now. The Wal-Mart paint on the headers and side pipes was flaking off so they're being ceramic coated. The Robbins soft top was handed to me in a box, no hardware or frame pieces. I talked with the folks at Cobra Restorers and they assured me that they had everthing I needed to complete the top assembly, but would not guarantee that it would fit my car. I'm going to need A LOT of parts to finish this car and it seems that Cobra Restorers and Finish Line are about the only viable sources. Any suggestions?:( |
Be careful with the top. The Robbins top with fit the real McCoy, ERAs, and Kirkhams but you may have some yankin' and pullin' to do on anything else. Cobra Restorers only stocks the real stuff. Finish Line may have more experience on some of the other kits. In general, you will always be safe in assuming that nothing you purchase will bolt right up on any Cobra kit (or the originals for that matter). It will always take a little massaging. Part of the fun of owning a Cobra.

I ordered a set of seats for my car in the 80's the finish was terrible, all lumpy and misformed. Never bought from them again!

Finish Line
I just bought a beautiful used FFR last week and after looking at the catalogs that the previous owner gave me I called Finish Line, after realizing that they were only 3 miles from my house I drove there in my FFR. I actually could not find them until a guy in the warehouse flagged me down stating "this is the place". Nice operation, Clean Warehouse, Nicer people and the parts packer even offered to install the new mats I bought. I am positive I will be going back next week as I already have a list of parts I want to buy.
Bryan FYI, I am new to this site today. AWESOME SITE! |
