Default Why I'm building mine

The problem with planning a Cobra replica build from half way around the world, is that all you can do is think and contemplate.

I've learned a ton, since I've been on this board, as well as the FE board. In fact, I've solidified my build plan over the weekend, thanks to the help of some really cool people on both boards. Only my paychecks need to catch up so I can start buying stuff so I won't change my mind again.

Once I'm done building, and have thoroughly sorted out "Hal" (he has a name already) I want to utterly thrash it along 100+ miles of some of the prettiest roads on the face of this earth.



I know that Iowa has a reputation as being flat, square and boring. But anyone who has ever been to the Loess Hills along the Missouri River will think otherwise.



I cruised it a couple years ago in my '67 Mustang convertible, and I couldn't help but thinking the entire time how much more fun it would be in a serious performance car.





The biggest challenge is not to hit slob bicyclists who purposefully ignore the rules of the road... mainly because they are dicks.

After that... Maybe a circumnavigation.



What are YOUR plans, or maybe the roads YOU like to really attack with your little Cobras?
