great looking, but how scary is it to get back on the chasis
 
Looks fantastic, and in a few months I hope to be there with my paint. I am scared to death about messing up either the chassis or body during the reconnecting of the two.

what are your anticipated secrets to doing this. where will the lift points be. how many people watching every corner as it slips over the chassis.

Ray,

On a previous build, what happened is that at least four folks lifted and carefully positioned the body onto the frame. There should be a brace between the front and rear deck edges. Make sure no one is wearing any buckles or buttons.

Hray i would use more like 6 or 8 people and have everybody wear latex gloves and no rings or belt buckles. My wife wears rings on just about every finger but when she gets near the Cobra they come off and go in her pockets, i caught her polishing a wheel with them on one time and the YOU KNOW WHAT hit the fan.

Jim,

Management has decided to no longer publish ETA numbers. However it should be weeks now vs. months. Please note these are forward looking statements based on currently available information and should not be taken as fact ;)

Beautiful combo John. I am anxious to see the roller and here how different the suspension works for you. Great Choice...I will still drive up to Grand Lake and take a look at it for you if you like.

Thanks Clois...and thanks for the offer. I will let you know. I may come up there the weekend of the 26th.

Body is on the frame
 
Should not be long now. One downtube for the rollbars needs to be made. Quickjacks need mounting, hood scoop is mocked up but needs painted and mounted etc.

You can see how this red really pops once buffed out....I really like the way the color turned out.
