When a person can buy 20 original cars they dont see the value in them like someone who grew up with them or maybe owned one at some point in their life. Its just a toy in a toy box to some. Im not going to discuss the owner and I personal relationship and what business I have asking questions with just anyone. Making statements like “he has bigger plans than the owner is a snide comment and not necessary. We are all adults and professionals here I would hope. I enjoy the research and learning and he enjoys it as well and its been fun. Im will continue to ask questions and if you have constructive input hen thank you.
That said , so when people restore cars im guessing they are just cutting all new aluminum panels and using them, as it would seem impossible to reproduce the factory finish.

Cobras, real or replica, are a passion some people, apparently like yourself, just cannot grasp. Owning 1, or 20, or having the funds to do both does not matter here, enthusiasm does. Again, some people just cannot grasp that concept. As for the car itself, we do not care about the owner, we care more about the car, and if it is truly an original 60's built CSX series car, what is done during it's rebuild/restoration. It's the owners car, he can do with it what he wants, but given the low production from 1962-1967, you would think he would want to get it right the first time. Of course we have seen those with more money than brains, do horrible things to such cars in the past, why, because they could. Are you, or your "friend" one of those? From the attitude of your last post, it does so appear to be. So much for burning bridges in a short time, while some of us were only trying to get enough information to properly assist you.
