Beautiful attention to detail. What is the story behind the car and why it has not been finished until now?

Great looking work. Roll bar looks a little short?

Stunning, but YES - I would attend to the roll bar. I believe Nick Acton has a source for a solution to get one that may be more authentic. Great looking car!

Whatever you do stay away from Acton. Search the forum for multiple horror stories about guys getting ripped off by him. |

A Big thumbs up here. ��
Well done.
Good call on the engine upgrade... curious to know the details of the build?
Old iron or new block?
Internals?
Heads?
Cam choice?
Please do tell.

I second Redmt....
There is a reason NH Cobra guys avoid that particular NH source .... 
There are plenty of sources.... Avoid the NH one!
