I suppose that drive shaft is a bit shorter than a standard 427 Cobra...

By about 6 inches :eek:

Also, notice the transmission tunnel is bolted to the floor pan for stiffness.

David, be careful with all those undercarriage/belly pan pics. If the guys back in Poland see these they are probably going to think that you're taking their meal money and now building MIG fighter jets in Utah. :3DSMILE: :cool:

Interesting you mention that. Our customer emailed me one day and commented the parts look more like airplane parts than car parts. I do agree, I was pretty nervous about the entire project until I got under the car to take these pics. When I looked up, I was finally happy with what I saw. It does look really cool.

Truly, a work of art. The amount of time it took to construct that masterpeice must have been substancial. In general the level you have taken your regular Cobra's to has far surpassed anything in the 60's. I think the regular Cobra you sell is a perfect blend of modern and past. I can't wait to get mine. This billet car is not my cup of tea but is obviously extremely well done. I wonder if the chassis could be placed under a more modern car of your design. Similiar to the GTM by factory five but of much higher qualiy.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I do appreciate them. I am looking forward to having you as a customer. Your car is coming up soon! There were many, many hours spent in the design and engineering of the chassis.

Yes, the chassis was built specifically to be used with another, very modern, car--one that has nothing to do with Cobras. One could even say it is the antithesis of a Cobra. I think most people will be quite surprised by what the see when we unveil it.
