302 Frame
This is the frame for the first Cobra kit we built. It was an early Everett Morrision car. We installed a powersteering rack when Everett said it could not be done on his car.

All done
Ok no cracks about the seats. We painted the car Silver and took it to show our "Freinds" at Morrision's" the car. They took lots of pictures of the kind of car we told them we could build for them. What do you know when we sold the second car we built and went to pick up the frame it had all of OUR ideas and they called it THEIR second generation car!!
Got to love it!!!

Good Bye to our first car
Well we sprayed a coat of tinted clear on the silver car and this guy came by and bought it for a person in Sweden! We got a call form another owner a few years later from France and a year or so later from another owner in Sweden again. As far as we no she is still tearing up the roads overseas.

427 Holman & Moody in 2nd car
Well here is the roller for the 2nd car we built. It has a fresh 427 Holman and Moody, that I warmed over to push 500hp + and over 7,000 rpm. Lemans rods & crank, medium riser heads twin Holleys and so on, scatter proof bell, our custom fuel tank,(The one Everett stole from us, can you believe they asked me how I solved the vent problem? Lot of nerve), a set of custom headers by us, 4 wheel disc and gas shocks. Can you say go FAST?

427 Roller
Another shot of the 427 car. Ever wonder why the early cars run hot? The rad was set back at the top and the air would run straight over the top and not through the rad. Guess what happens if you lean it forward?

A pair of Gemini Cobras
We took the cars to a show in Daytona with the owner of the second car. As it turned out it was a Chey dealer and Surprize a Chevy won the prize! Kind of funny since everyone said we had the nicest cars at the show. Oh well we got a lot of prizes with our 302 before we let her go.

Daves Car finish up

Finish up
One more check under the car before delivery. See the struts that hold up the hood and trunk? We have been doing that for years. Why use a steel rod and have to lift it when it will open by it's self?
