Beautiful attention to detail. What is the story behind the car and why it has not been finished until now?

i say new for the fact i purchased the car a year ago with a bad 390 motor completely dissembled the car for reason it was set up totally incorrect and did a nut and bolt restoration beside modify many components like total brake system, Keith craft 482
|
That's a lot of woe. Good idea to go back over envy nut and bolt. Wen do you expect to ave it up and running?

Stunning, but YES - I would attend to the roll bar. I believe Nick Acton has a source for a solution to get one that may be more authentic. Great looking car!

Whatever you do stay away from Acton. Search the forum for multiple horror stories about guys getting ripped off by him. |

Well done.
Good call on the engine upgrade... curious to know the details of the build?
Old iron or new block?
Internals?
Heads?
Cam choice?

I second Redmt....
There is a reason NH Cobra guys avoid that particular NH source .... :confused:
There are plenty of sources.... Avoid the NH one!
