Nice work. Even though I had never done a set of sidepipes and exhaust headers before, this was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding parts of my scratch build. I had quite a bit of encouragement from a friend who builds headers and sidepipes for Finishline and others and rounded up the parts for me. Even taking them apart and rebuilding several pipes to clear my steering shaft wasn't really a big deal after the initial build was complete. After doing it (once) myself, I can appreciate how much skill it takes for Craig to make this look easy- it definitely isn't .
Great memories watching this build come together...
Bob

Craig, do you do the actual cutting of the splines for the steering shafts?

Hi Larry
I have the shafts made to my spec, then trim to length.

I don't even know where to begin, but Craig has had a very busy and productive week with my Cobra. First off, he modified my new Fluidyne Radiator to have the original style top with the raised center section. See before and after photos - a great original touch...

Oh yes - let us not forget the all important windshield wipers. Taken for granted but no easy task.

I believe the glass scoop to be a victim of, "I'm going to all this trouble for an aluminum car? Damn the glass scoop to hell!"
Not on KMP600, though

Hey Jeff, you forgot my points for the Lucas 104 mirror!!! Black crinkle paint goes on the back this week.
Also, most of the early Comp and race Cobras are not drilled for plates as they weren't meant for the road!! I call owners choice.  |
