No, hasn't been out on the road yet, roads are too sloppy: Doug wants to keep it pristine! Also in the 20's today. Since we are expecting another storm, I doubt it will be out for some time. All in good time, though...

I now officially have FIA envy... Damn you! :CRY:

:) That has got to be almost the perfect FIA. Thanks for sharing.

GULP! About as nice as it gets.

Jeff, Gorgeous car. Do you know if ERA had to do any extra work on your pipes to get them to look uniform in distance from the body? Mine (on 2137) seem to hang a little lower (an inch plus?) in the front. Yours look perfect.

Yes, I asked them to get the pipes as tight as possible.

First time out of the nest!!
 
My car is going to be on display at the Hartford, CT auto show at the Connecticut Custom booth. I was there to pick up a sticky fuel pressure gauge and got to see my car out in the wild as it was being picked up for transport to the show. Not very good on the snow, we discovered!

If only I could do it all over again... WOW!

Sigh....

kgs365 01-27-2011 06:35 PM

thats awesome!...really nice build. I've seen it in person pictures do not do it justice!

tkb289 01-27-2011 10:05 PM

Jeff,

Absolutely stunning ... will be the star of the show for sure :cool:

Looks good outside, bet you can't wait to get it on the road!!

No shortage of snow :eek:

RAO-3 01-28-2011 09:24 AM

Wow congrats on having your car at the show - I'm sure it will be the star.

Thanks, you are too kind. When I look at it, all I see is just another red Cobra! But it feels great to hear these compliments. Thanks to all!

BTW, I'm joining a golf club in Long Valley (which I think may qualify as "Central NJ"), so I'll be heading out Route 80 frequently next summer. Maybe we can get together sometime!

Take care,

Jeff

jeffy 01-30-2011 02:14 PM

No, I didn't get to drive it...
 
But Doug did, and he looks pleased with his handiwork...

It's the wheels! They really set it off! Very nice!

NFLDMNBB 01-31-2011 02:30 PM

That's it! **) Now I have to call my Doctor...... It's lasted more that 4 hours by looking at these pics. Over the top comp! Congratulations.

Roger
