Congrats Andy...start saving now for their weddings. College Tuition was nothing compared to the cost of weddings. Two in six months sure impacted my Cobra budget.

Thanks guys. We now have a boy and three girls so I think the title - Four Weddings and a Funeral - will ring true in 20 years or so!

Andy you stud!!!!
You bearly look old enough to have fuzz on your chin, let alone have 4 little critters.
No wonder it's taken so long to get the Cobra project rolling.
You been rootin' stedof glassin'.
Are you about to unleash the fist 6 seeter Cobra on Australia?
Maybe you should bring the fam' to the 'Cobra funday' in November,
Porsha would love some more Cobra kids to hang with.
Congratulations to you both,
From the Millington's

There ya go Scott.
A challenge to you....the first 6 seater Cobra.
Lets see here...hmm....hinge the boot lid on the bottom...bit of padding...that will make a 4 seater. 
What about the other two?.... hows about a couple of kiddy seats bolted to the roll bar.
Scott, One more ankle biter and you'll have to start thinking about it.

Congratulations Andy!!
4 kids, you've got your work cut out for you. Are you breeding a pit crew for the Cobra track days?
I've often thought about what to do when you have a family of 3+ and only a 2 seater car. I figure I'll just have to build a 32 roadster for the wife and our daughter Lauren can swap between the Cobra and the 32 cars on our cruises together.
Cheers

Once the Cobra is finished, we have the Desoto to build which is a six seater. Plenty of cruise time to be had!
Jason, we will all be at the Cobra fun day. I believe my Cobra will be on display as well in its unfinished state!
Andy.

I'm thinking about Trailering my Cobra to the fun day too. Hopefully the engine will be running by then.
I've been thinking a 32 roadster with a rumble seat would be a good family cruiser or a chopped 32 tudor Highboy. I like full fendered A model tudors as well. So many cars, so little shed space.  
Cheers

Mike, with a little bit of luck, my car will be a finished car minus the body. We are hoping to have the suspension, motor, gearbox and diff all back in with fuel and brake lines in as well ready for the fun day.
Andy.

I would like a nice 3 window buisness coupe like the one from american graffiti.
I was not far of buying either the 40 willys coupe or the 40 ford coupe when i was living in Qld.
I was in the tropical far north so a roof is nice with all the rain, but a cobra was allways the first choice, now that I am in the desert the rain is the last thing to worry about.

Now lets see, one can be a welder, one can be a mechanic and one can be a spray painter!
Beautiful all problems solved!!!!!!!
