Carroll Shelby once told us, "The chassis flex in the early Cobra is part of the suspension. People try to stiffen them up, which kills the handling and the ride."

That chassis/suspension combination won numerous races in its day. Ask Ferrari. More importantly, it is what they were. If you want a BMW, buy one.
Your car is looking neat Jeff. I wish you lots of smiles ahead.

Small gains as the honey do's get larger this time of year.....
Added the spats on the front, should look good once fit correctly. Currently the body is off as I am finishing the welding on the frame. Once that is done it should be all forward momentum. Those of you that have done this know it is two steps forward and one step back at this stage.
