@speedway - a couple things i had issues with on the cobra

1) mounting the wipers. i actually had my own wiper mounts made. i drew them in a cad program and had them laser cut and bent. the standard wiper mounts just wouldnt fit and i didnt want to grind away too much fiber glass. i'd probably go with a windshield mounted manual wiper since the only reason i wanted a wiper was for inspection process to get a VIN.

2) Door alignment. very tough with just one person doing a build. i have a few better ideas on how to do it. should have called a friend to assist! this winter I have to adjust my passenger door and maybe make a new hinge plate for it. the drivers door is good, but the passenger door sits slightly at an angle.

3) get the light kit from factory five for all turn, parking, brake, and license plate lights. in New York, i needed to right down the SAE safety numbers from the lights on the form that I submitted to the state. Rather than make them up or copy them, i just bought the FFR light kit and replaced the lucas lights.

4) power steering with the march pullys. i bought the fancy march pully kit and put power steering in. i would probably stay with manual. i had to relocate the power steering pump to an area that would not hit the frame. i spent alot of time on it, and it still isnt 100% right yet. i keep thinking of going to a manual rack. i still may do that.

5) use a line pressure brake switch. the under dash switch that is supposed to activate against the brake pedal, it works, but the pedal return has to be perfect. if the pedal returns only 99% of the way, the brake light stay on! you can get a line switch from jegs/etc.

all in all, it went together pretty smooth.
