Excaliber...

Thanks for the kind words. It certainly is a head turner. I've won 2 best of show trophies with it, but the truth is, it's small potatoes as Cobra replicas go.

Live rear axle, drum brakes on the rear, vinyl seats...you know, the corners I had to cut to make it a reality in a realistic amount of time.

It's unique enough and brightly painted enough, though, that it makes a big hit wherever it goes unless there are other Cobra replicas there. By doing most all of my own work, I have a nice car for 22K as well as the accomplishment of having done it myself with available resources.

Thanks again for the kind words. Happy New Year over there in the 808 area code.
