A lot seemed to depend on parts acquistion issues (heads, IIRC) and Doug's health...maybe he will chime in and let us know where this project stands.
Sorry I can't tell you more....hoping for good news so that this gentleman can get to drive his Cobra!
Cheers!

Thanks guys for the offers. A couple of the local guys have been helping Doug get the wiring done. We should have that complete by early October, as well as the steering and cooling system installed. After that, Doug needs to sort out the powertrain plans.

Guys what a neat Thread to read.
The Cobra community rallying to help another. I wish I was there to help in some way. I have met a few of you guys during my travels to London Ohio, the Fling, Run N Gun and SAAC events - Trularin, Rick Lake etc.
The Cobra community is made up of a variety of individuals who all share the same passion combined with a genuine desire to help each other - I am honestly blessed with good health and the ability - due to good luck - to be able to pursue my dream.
Well done all and the best to 767jockey, I hope you enjoy your car for many years.

I have been wondering about this too
There was so much enthusiasm and great participation in the beginning. What is the current status? Are parts still needed?

I am curious as well; I kicked in a couple of Franklins and was wondering if I'd been mistakenly good hearted.

We should never forget that Doug may never be 'out of the woods' with his serious condition.
I'm hoping that he's just too busy and not hurting.

Agreed. I hope he is only busy. Maybe Jim will chime in with an update for us since the car is at his house.

He is going to die of old age in his 90's before he gets to drive his car.
