We are going to building a Shell Valley cobra here soon and are looking for information from all you Shell Valley builders!

If you would share the tips and tricks you learned while building your Shell Valley, that would be GREAT!!!

Thanks
Rick

I guess the tips and tricks could be of a generic nature but what I am really looking for are items learned from building a Shell Valley. What would you do different? What where the leasons learned.
Thanks
Rick

Rick....Get in touch with me in about a week.....I'll tell you everything you need to know.

I don't think there was one thing that I followed in the manual. I changed a lot of things to reflect a more authentic/original looking car. If you're interested in that route, let me know.

You shouldn't have any problems building the car...the guys at SV are great with support. If it hadn't been my decisions to do my own thing, I probably wouldn't have had any questions/conflicts at all.

All the info you can give me would be great! Can you type it up and email or post?
Thanks

Guys,

Can we post the tips and tricks on the site here. I think anything we can offer up as experience could really help out existing owners and the new. Seems a shame to hide it all in emails.

I know this was posted quite awhile ago, but I too would like to see some tips or different ways of doing some things.
