Talking I Started My Cobra Last Weekend.......

Hi All,

I started my Cobra last weekend for the first time. There was no smoke, flames or explosions. WooooHuuuuu!!!

My Cobra even drove down the road well, considering the front end was just eyeballed... I will use a caster camber gauge on it when I get the time....

I can't believe it actually ran. The Side Pipes were rumbling and the whole car was rocking.....

I have been interested about Cobras for as long as I can remember and three years ago this September I went to buy the body. It’s been a long road to haul.

I designed and built my frame, suspension, brake assembly and everything else in between. I also put together the drive train combination I wanted to use. It is not exotic as some guys cars, but it is truly all mine.

Anyway, I feel I am in the home stretch now. I only have to finish a few small things and paint it.

Thanks for all your thoughts and inspiration. I would like to also thank Enzo and his crew, Shell Valley, Jegs, and Summit, VDO and tons others.

Thanks,
Rick
