Breaking out of my shell

Well I have my kit, I ordered thru Gordon. I demo’d a donor car at Christmas and I think I'm ready to join the club and meet with the group.

I'm at the beginning stage of my build, I will do first rivet Friday...hopefully have rolling chassis by the end of the weekend. I still have never had a ride in a cobra and was wondering where you guys meet and was hoping someone could give me a ride. I've been to Gordon's shop a few times, and down to Scottsdale once but that's it. Is there a regular place besides Scottsdale I could find members of the group?

Mike, I have one of Gordons cars. Any time you may be in Tucson I would be happy to give you a ride and answer any questions that I can.

Mike,

I know it's a drive for you...But every Sat. night a group of us meet at 77th ave and bell. South-west side of the street. We also meet every Tuesday at 75th. and Bell the 5 & Diner.

On this comming Sunday we will be meeting at Hershals house for a car tinkering session. Hershal has gratiously allowed us to invade and use his lift. Hersh is near 19th ave and Dobbins road. That's close to South Mountain.

Mike

P.S. email me your address...you never know when I'll drive by.

Is there a time when everyone gathers at bell on Saturday? Also what is on the corner you meet, I think I'll try to make it....need to ask the wife if I have plans

Well I'm going to go do the front suspension.

Mike

Do you guys have a t-shirt / hat / patch or something?

The cars start arriving about 6pm. The location is just south of Bell on 77th ave South west side. There is a street light at 77th and bell. Just turn south at the light. Go down 100 yards and look right. Generally 4 to 5 cobras there. Along with 200 others.

Most leave by 8PM.

See you there...

I missed you guys then figured it out. I went to Bell two weekends ago around seven and didn't see 1 cobra. Later that week I read about the Knotts get together.

I'm going to try to sneek by the wife this weekend and if successful will get to bell again, anyone plan to be there?
