Fortunately Craig was able to make the alloy body work with the hood that I fabricated. Not the normal way to do things but I am glad that it all worked out  |

The hood fits nice. A true sign of professional workmanship. Now all you need to do is have a few people walk over the top of it and leave foot prints and it will loo real authentic

You did a great job on the hood Kevin  We are happy to be able to use it, next we need to make your trunk lid panel work 
It has come a long way from this |

Congrats, should not be too long before you are sitting behind the wheel. A nice piece of workmanship.

This one is just about finished with the body fitment.
Just finishing up a few small details, but looking very nice.
Kevin you will have to start planning a trip down to see the progress.

The body is very nice, Thank you! 
I have had the shinny and brushed finish, but for me paint is the way to go 
Now for my shop/demo car I may leave raw Aluminum just to show off the construction and workmanship of the build, (but will not be polished).
Kevin has the big decision ahead of him, what ever he chooses I'm sure it will look great. |

I finally found some time to fly down to VA this week to visit Craig and my car (not necessarily in that order) and I could not be happier with how the body turned out. My goal is to build a replica of an early comp car with FIA wheels and dry sump and Craig absolutely nailed the body proportions – especially the rear fenders. Nice and wide but without the S/C "lip". The body is officially done and now Craig is doing the final shaping, panel fitting and riveting of the body to the frame. After that he will fabricate all the inner panels, complete the cut-outs, set the ride height and then the car is off to paint. I cannot begin to express how happy I am with what Craig has done to get my Cobra build back on track. He is great to work with and his fabrication skills are amazing. Anyway, I will let the pictures do the talking...

Since I left VA, Craig has been very busy putting the final touches on the alloy body. As always, incredible workmanship...

Body perimeter is fully riveted to the frame. FIA wheels are looking mighty fine and the headlight & parking light cutouts are finished...

It was nice having you at the shop Kevin, I am excited to be building this one with you, the unique options you have opted for will truly make this car a special one.
I will be finishing up with another car in the shop over the next couple of weeks then back onto this one. |
