What things about your Cobra would you have done differently?

Yes, my car looks like Patrickt's, but my rear plug faces forward, so it isn't too bad to get at. Actually, the opposite one is more difficult due to the battery being in the way.

I made the "bent" wrench frm ERAs instructions. Slow, but the hard part is starting the bolt. What I've found is to start all 4 bottom bolts, lift the headers up over the bolts, and slide them down in their slots. Then put in the top bolts, but it's that right rear top one that's fiddly to start (did I say bottom before, I meant "top").

I'm really glad I got the proper pin-drives and wheels for the car. I'd regret it if I didn't. Leather seats and seat slides were another option I am pleased with.

I had ERA add in an extra cahssis suport for a full width roll bar, but so far, I am not using any roll-bar. I think I'll leave it that way as I don't do any track stuff.

I woudln't mind owning the convertible top, but I'd never use it. I do have the tonneau cover in case it starts raining when I am far from home. I can put the cover on and go in a store or somewhere until the rain stops.

LIttle things....I must get a 5-speed pattern shift knob. I did find a source recently. Apparetnly it's a legal thing here. Also is toggle switch labels. I machined new toggle switch nuts with a wide tapered edge (had to order a special thread tap), but couldnt' find an engraver who could do small compound curves, so i settled for professionally applied vinyl letters. All done, but never installed yet.....LOL.

I kind of think a kit car will always be a work in progress to some extent.
