After seeing the part Nick made for Bill (2fast4u) and living relatively close by I wanted to visit his shop. Nick and I had also been communicating with each other here about the construction of the original glove boxes.

So a couple of weeks ago on the way to the FFR Open House I stopped by Nicks shop. What a great visit. Nick had three customers Cobra replicas he was working on, two scratch builds of his own and a CSX4000 series car he was rebuilding.

Both Nick and his wife Bonnie took their time showing me the shop and the things they were doing. Turns out Bonnie works on the shops metalworking machines almost as much as Nick does. I thought that was cool. What a great team. Turns out this team can make any original or replica Cobra part you may need, such as Bill's gas fill shield for his FIA build.

We also talked at length about the original glove boxes. Nick was very sharing of the research he had done in regards to the glove boxes.

In all, Nick and Bonnie made my day and more.

Their shop is a recommended visit if you can make it.
