I had a chance to drop over to Bobs place on Hoods Canal and look at his build. Bob has done alot of little things to make his Cobra outstanding. Bob is working on the shell and well be on road soon.
Bob has join Club Cobra and is looking forward to getting his Cobra out. So welcome to site Bob.

it was great meeting you guys and especially enjoyed my 'first ride' in a cobra in your great roadster-open invitation to anyone over in this area to drop by anytime-anyone thats done their own body work knows I need the motivation occasionally to sand-sand-sand-oh yes-and sand some more.

Welcome Bob. It was great meeting you last week-end. I know what you mean about body work. I hate it, but don't trust anyone else to do it for me. I can't wait to see your car.

Jim (TOO).

Bob,

Welcome to the club. Body prep is a pain but in the end it is worth it. Hang in there!

If you think body work is a pain wait until you meet up with the rest of the crowd and hear all the stories, or if you get stuck behind Jim 1 now thats a pain. All he wants to do is adjust his WW1 hat and goggles and slow everyone else down.

Welcome Bob, its good to get new meat now and then.

Fred
Stroker Y Block # 5 and working on # 6.

I also would like to express a warm welcome to the site and the NW cobra club. Please don't believe everything you here about us. With the exception of Jim (#1) and the WW1 hat. It is a great group of folks with a passion for the most fun car ever built!

Welcome to the club. I put on the WW1 hat at times to make our resident Boeing Man (Fred) remember the planes he helped design. Our hats are off to you Fred this 4th of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bi-Planes were good when you designed them.

After meeting Fred a couple of times, I am pretty sure this is the last plane he worked on.

Sorry db, but the main page comes up, not a plane.

And welcome aboard Bob. Don't let these guys scare you off. Only one of them eats their young.

You are correct SB, on the left click on museum aircraft, then, pt-13.
Cant seem to get it to the plane any other way.
But I am sure it was Fred's last plane.
