John, actually I'm thinking about to let this thread die.
End of November last year I posted: "Guys, it you have thoughts or any comment - please feel free and post. This thread turns slowly into a monologue...",
since -- just a handful posts. It is still a monologue not suitable for an discussion forum.
I will still update my picture website:

Howdy G-Pete,
Keep posting updates! I love reading your build thread.
I never really had a reason to post anything up until now except the your workmanship and skills are incredible.
Keep up the great work and keep posting!
I'm going to "borrow" a few ideas from you for my Spyder build.
Paul

Yes, Keep posting
Hello, Yes, I agree with Paul. Many of us follow your build and watch for new fotos but do not have anything constructive to add. The only thing I can add it that your build is excellent and the workmanship top quality. I wish some of those tools & machines were in my workshop when I did my scratch build.
One more vote to keep the thread alive,
regards, Karl

Pete, I have a thought: As of today this thread has over 14,000 views, so people are interested.
And a comment: please keep this thread alive and keep us posted on your progress. |

Pete, please don't let this die. Sometimes it's impossible to comment on genius. You just sit back and admire. I too look forward to your posts and incredible skills.
Regards,
John O

Great job Pete,
Lots of guys can buy the nicest Cobra replica but few can build their own.

Pete,
Good, because I am curious to see how the fiberglass bonds to carbon fiber, and if it bonds the same way it does to other fiberglass. Cool stuff. I've never worked with cf before. |

Pretty soon you will see how that works. The resin is pretty much the in same chemical family. If you go back a few pages...
http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/scra...h-build-9.html...post 132- there you see my body mounts fiber glassed to the CF body.
