How about 10+ years. I've forgotten the exact start. I was in the last stage of completing a 9 year restoration of a 71 Mach 1 Mustang when I heard of the sale of RMC cobra ( there were only a couple of decent cobra manufacturers then ) so I bought one. It sat dormant for two years then...I nearly got married. Since then I have been building the car completely by myself. I can't believe the things that have hindered my build. Deaths, pollution requirement changes,rego,floods, job changes and the latest is my shed has sunk and to repair that I can't proceed with the cobra work !
Someone said that I have a lot of patience.
I think they were right.
What do you mean when talking about building one or assembling one ?
To meet ADR requirements for pollution I assembled the thing in about 8 months. To build it properly I have taken ages.
