Hi Everybody, I am just about to embark on an epic journey. Both my parents died no too long ago, so my wife and I inherited enough money to pay a chunk off our mortgage, my wife to go to Italy next year (her bucket list) and me to go to The US Masters (my bucket list).
In my younger days I did a panel beating journeyman course at evening college so that I could gain the skills required to restore a car. I spent the next 2 years completely stripping and rebuilding an HJ 2 door Monaro, which came in the top 15 at the Summernats way back in the eighties.It was featured in a couple of magazines and I was really proud of the result. I later got into Corvettes and have owned 3 at different times. I was involved in a lot of the RHD conversion and really enjoyed going to club track days. After that I bought a late model Monaro that I spent a heap on and enjoyed learning how to drive fast on track days. All that went by the wayside to make way for a family wagon.After we received the inheritance, my wife suggested that I get another fast car. I thought that sounded like a great idea! I started to look at different options. I have a mate in the US who was building a Cobra, so I started researching. I visited Daniel (Classic Revival)at his workshop late last year to have a close look at the quality of his work. I came away very impressed. I placed an order with him in January and last week week I drove down from the Sunshine Coast to pick up my new project.
I already have an LS2 engine, that I will pull down and put a cam in after engineering, a TR6060 gearbox and AP Racing brakes. I plan on doing most of the work myself, including panel and paint. I have been reading with interest, the build logs here, and hopefully I will have something to contribute. I may need some guidance along the way. Regards Will
