Thanks a lot for the pics John.

Looks like you're not afraid to go your own way with your cars! The LS motors are a popular choice for many OZ Cobra builders (even a couple of LS7s), where adherence to tradition is not so ingrained, probably because the bulk of cars here are fairly young. My old girl was built by Steve Arntz in 1979 so I'm more inclined to go the traditional route I guess, although I'd love to swap out my original 454 for a Reher-Morrison 540, and my old Muncie 4-speed for one of Keisler's SS700 5-speeders. Still the old school approach -- just newer componentry!

I like the extra heat cutouts on your Cobra and that engine bay is so clean.

The Speedster is a weapon! It goes along the lines of a replica Beck Lister that used to be made over there. Great shape! And I love the approach that, if the pipes won't exit through the sides, just flop 'em up and over! Are you able to road register the Speedster as an individually constructed vehicle in your state? I doubt it'd get by the registration killjoys over here.

Thanks again.
