Hi Fitz, this is "Doc" with the 65 Shelby that was in Gordon's shop yesterday (and still there today). You may recall I also have the Silver and Black BDR Backdraft as well.

Let me start by saying that I love what you are doing with your Cobra, you'll end up with one hell of a machine.

Having built MANY cars I can tell you that it's not as easy as it may seem to get things completed quickly. It always takes longer than you imagine it will to do custom stuff.

It took me 2 years to build my 65 Shelby (to it's present state)and I STARTED with a complete running car. And it's still not done!

That's one of the main reasons I chose to simply purchase a completed running Backdraft rather than build one. Driving them is a lot more fun than building them.

Wanting a 600 horse, Prozac on wheels, do it everything Cobra: with A/C, a major getto blaster and GPS, that's a show stopper, race car and highway cruiser is not the easiest thing to build quickly.

I believe you chose the right shop to do it and Travis is a talented young man but it takes time to stuff all that into a small box. Be patient my friend and your going to get what you want. It's a most impressive car and I'm sure it will be well worth the wait.

I just hope that when it's done that you won't be affraid of really using and driving it. That would be a shame.

Hang in there my friend, you'll be on the road soon.
