Lightbulb Build a cobra from scratch

Hello everyone

I have been dreaming of having a cobra of my own for years now I want to fabricate this thing from the ground up. The sheer pride of being able to say I made it is my vision. If there is any one out there who knows where I can get my hands on some blueprints or other information that may be of help I would appreciate it.

wish me luck


Thanks for the help guys a few days have gone buy and nothing yet........

Cobra Restorers out Atlanta sells blueprints...Give them a try the website is cobrarestorers.com.

Recently there was a post that followed a Datoyna build from scratch, fabricating a body buck, chasis build, hand forming all the panals and bringing it all together to one beautiful car. Definitely worth the effort.

Keep us up-to-date.

Fox,

Just looked at the site you posted for the Daytona "scratch-build."

ASOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!! What a pro!

John,

That is Chuck Linquist's car and he did a fantastic job on it. Kit Car Magazine had some pictures and an article on it a few months ago. He came up to our last Cobra Social last Summer and spent quite a while telling us how much work he had put into doing it all by himself, but the end result is incredible.

Ron
