Hello to all my new club members here in Tri State.
Special thanks to Klayfish for letting me swing by his house on Sunday to see a real live Cobra in person and ask many many questions that he answered for me.
"Respect the Klayfish"
Well, on to me and my thoughts now. I have been thinking of putting a Cobra together for a few years now, but never had the room to do it.
But, as my new house nears completion in June, I have a very nice two car garage to myself (wife afraid to pull suv in) and my Cobra. I hopefully plan to start assembling her sometime starting in the early fall and hopefully have her roadworthy by summer of '05.
So, now onto my questions that need answers....
- Living in NJ, how hard is it to find insurance for her (limited use)?
- Any ideas where to find a block built pre 1976?
- Anyone know a good paint guy to speak to for prices?
Being 6'1" and 240lbs, I was a tight fit into the 90" wheelbase Klayfish Cobra. He suggested a company that sells 96" wheelbase Cobras for us big people. He told me of "Lonestar" at
http://www.kitcar.com/lonestar and I found another company Hunters which sells them at
http://www.hunterscobrakits.com
Anyone have any knowledge of either company? I spoke to Hunters today on the phone with the owner for about an hour or so. He really impressed me with being honest and knowledgeable about the cars and products, so I am looking for any thoughts here?
I also tried to call Lonestar a few times today, but got hungup in endless voicemail.......scary?
Anyway, any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
