Good to know that you are happy with Wray. He's got my old Jag in his shop right now for new panels :)

Looks awesome. Can't wait for you to be back on road.
Sorry for high jacking thread....,,

Frames and skins can be had locally in CA.
Racewhere, McKluskey could help.
I would start with Racewhere as it might be better budget item.
Kevin is right need to have car in person.
Hard to do by mail.

The old HiTech also could help. Tim G (HiTech) has parts of frames made so you can Customize yourself for reasonable money. Others will cost way more.
Tim will be sending me door kit frame for car 2. Will need to finish here on car as it's no huge deal.

All depends on your ambition.

In The East there are a couple pros that could help one being Rare Drive, Panel Craft etc.
Also Alan Burish is good source in Midwest.

Call or email if you need help.

Hi Randy,

I don't know if you have seen Wray work with aluminum but he is an absolute artist. His new shop is incredible. I think you will be very pleased with his work.

Thanks Jeff. Googgled "Racewhere" with no luck. Any more info to get me to a site?

Cheers
Greg

Cheers
Greg

I am planning on going back this December to finish my doors. Mickmate has been helping me modify and fit my Hi-Tech door frames which needed a lot of work as they were originally designed to be used with fiberglass skins. Nick added a lot of original touches to the door frames and we replicated the original style ferrule tubes and brackets, added original style hinge plates and the door alignment pin tube as can be found on original Cobras We also added new original style hinges. We started to flash the doors yesterday so they should be ready for skins in December. I have included a few pictures which show my progress from day 1 through yesterday. Once the doors are done, I will post more pictures with a lot more detail.
