yes, the most important thing is to find some project to work on it.

my blank canvas is base 289
than start modifying thing

hey, i'm an mechanical engineer and love to play with my toys

to improve front lift @ high speed problem with front lip & front fenders
to reduce windscreen lift @ high speed problem with thick stainless steel wind screen and more rigid mounting method to chassis
location of engine is not so rearward to increase pedal area ergonomics
but locating 24 gallon (90 lt) stainless steel petrol tank @ top of rear suspension
more modern interior with center consol & dashboard
moving of hand brake to left side of driver seat to improve ergonomics
etc. etc.

maybe second or third one will be street trim without ugly hood bulge and fender extentions

peace

To reiterate - your skills are impressive and it's all yours to finish in a way that makes you happy. I was following the build with enthusiastic interest, but that is fading as this becomes less of a Cobra and more of a Krazy Kustom Kar project!

You are having fun with it and that is what matters! Carry on and enjoy!
