Yup, he signed my wind wing and I wrote the check to his Children's Foundation.

In my case, I met him in Vegas. But folks were able to fill out the form and make the donation on line or via mail, then send parts to him for signature. He had something of a sliding scale on price. Dashboard=x$, Artwork=x$, etc.

In my case, the most important signature from him is the one on my MSO!;)

Okay, wow, wow, wow, wow....
"Shelby Cobra Fifty Years" by Colin Comer is freaking AWESOME! the photographs alone are worth the price. However, this has made me even more comfortable with some of my "unique" decisions. The genesis of this car was based on creativeness. Don't worry Patrick, im not going with 24 inch chrome wheels with neon under glow lights on my ERA, but just seeing some of the original photos, when it was "just a race car" and not a global icon, were refreshing. i know for sure, i don't want the sun visors and wind deflectors! I love the minimal look of just the windscreen and dash mounted rear view. **Yes, i have realized my sins, i WILL NOT have a Chevy motor, what was i thinking? Its gotta be a BB Ford. so much to learn..... |

Have you asked, of Bob & Peter, "if I write you a fat check today, when will I have my Cobra in my garage?" :confused:

With that being said, Carroll Shelby did attempt to work a deal with Chevy first correct? What if they said yes? We'd all be building them with a GM power plant still I'd assume. I've never been a Chevy guy so I'm very pleased with the direction he was "forced" to go. I guess I bring this up because it's often referred to as a "sin" to use the Chevy motor when it was in fact his first choice. Just my .02 cents. |

For "me" it will NOT be one big fat check. My build will have to be in increments. I am just trying to make the best launch out of the gates to ease future pain, and set me up for future success. out the gate, i'd like: standard kit + paint, powder coat frame, bonded body, steering wheel and linkage, and ......?

i cant tell too much from the NCDOT website. A "real" owner may be the answer. |
Well, I would buy all the essentials up front. Like suspension, radiator, steering, etc. I don't know what gets included and what doesn't -- I would just have Peter make a secondary list for me of all the things that I had to also find, one way or another, before the car will be able to move safely under its own power. Shocks, bell housing, head lights, wheels, tie rods, steering knuckles... you need to have an inclusive list of all the stuff that you're not getting. There are a zillion little things that go on these cars. Towards the end of my build, Doug was calling me so much to get my "OK" on things that I finally told him "look, if you think it ought to be on there, just put it on there, you don't have to check with me." That actually worked better than I could have imagined.:D
