Clois, I have been working day and night to get the new car ready for Run n Gun. I must be crazy and I am tired! But the event is sooo much fun that I can't quit. Building a Cobra from scratch is not easy!!! I have finally finished the chassis. I had to make 7 unique fiberglass parts to mount the Mid States body to it along with an alumium cradle the supports the front of the body. Add to that custom headers, custom fuel tank, a conversion for the Diff to accept a driveshaft, custom axles, and a custom steering rack. I also have made the over 30 aluminum skins that attach to the frame. In addition to building the car I have built a new jig for the chassis, copies of all brackets, molds for all of the fiberglass parts, and patterns for the aluminum panels. Hopefully the car will perform great and other people will want one. Now I can duplicate the car with out having to pull it apart.
I leave on a business trip tomorrow and don't get back until the 12th. I still have to paint the chassis, attach the aluminum panels, assemble the car, plumb it, wire it, mount the body, have it painted, and get the interior installed before run n gun. I may show up there and sleep for the 4 days!!!
Can't wait, see you there! John
