Mike,
Car is with Ron Randall at Metal-Morphous, Inc getting a final color sanding and buffing. Ron did the body work and paint on my car and he also did an outstanding job. It should be back in the garage sometime after the first of the year. The car was actually my christmas present 2 years ago when my wiife decided it was a good time for us to build another car. The whole project took about 2 years to complete. Thanks for the nice comments!
Chaplin Michael Last time I saw you at Washingtons crossing, your where in the light heavy weight divison for cobra owners. There was a jar of KY jelly in your glove box. Being you are married with 2 children at both a very young age, and the fact that there is little room in a cobra for fun stuff, the question is, what is the KY for???? Rumor has it you needed it to get your butt into your car. Grease up the hips??? Any way, Mike have a good Christmas and Happy New Year. I already sent Mr. Jim Holden a seperate letter of the same questions and retorques. Rick L. Ps weight is down to 235. Pss I am also about 10 years older than you. I passed 50 a few years back. LOL

The only nit-pik I had with my FIA was the seat tracks. I had to pull them and shim the slides to get them to interlock properly. Other than that the car has been trouble free for 5500 miles now. The only thing I might consider changing if I had it to do over, would be to consider the TKO 600R with a 3.31 rear end instead of the standard 600 with the 3.54.

Mike,
Ron has done work on two cars for me (my Cobra and a 1963 Split-Window Corvette; pics of the Vette are in my gallery). Ron is the most expert person that I have encountered when it comes to fiberglass work and paint. He spends the extra time to get things straight and properly prepped. He is an great guy to work with and he has done many, many cobras. If you want top quality body and paint work, I would not take your car to anyone else.
He also has a proprietary metalization process that looks great on the underside of hoods and trunk lids. It gives a fiberglass body the appearance of being aluminum. Attached are a couple of picture's of Ron's process on my ERA.
Give Ron a call and I'm sure he'll be able to help you with top quality work on your car.
