Rogers cars just about bring a tear to my eye to look at they are amazing so I can only imagine what it would be like to own one

SunDude,

Yes the fit and finish is outstanding. I have had 4 SPFs in the past so clearly know their quality. What I love about this car is how accruate it is to an original as far as the body, frame, suspension, interior, floor mounted foot pedals and all the aluminum work. I like ERAs and Superformance but both have some of their own unique designs. This compares in design to a Kirham and/or CSX4000 but less expensive. I read a lot of the Double Ugly posts from when he bought the red Exact from Roger (on this forum) and was pretty impressed with everything. Spending some time with Roger you get a whole another experience about his cars. He makes a whole bunch of stuff and is now working on mass producing a lot of parts that even original owners and Kirkham owners would buy. Roger is talking about building another 10 cars in the near future....

No website yet. Roger has really been working on making replacement parts for Cobras. His plan is to offer hard to find parts and other unique parts he had engineered that original, Kirkham and other Cobra owners would like to buy. Good example are his hydr clutch slave system, the cool billet brake and clutch fluid cans that look like the originals and don't leak, rear-ends, rollbar shoulder harness brackets, 4 hole motor mounts vs 2 etc. He says he is also going to build more cars in the near future but is working on one last car that will be his demo car. I think if he'd start the next 10, he'd sell them fast...

Well worth the wait, can't wait to see something weighing the front down to it's proper level!

Gary,

Great choice, Roger does great detail work.

Vector,

I believe a Kirkham body weighs 50 to 55 pounds

Sure is fun ordering parts now. Car cover, Raydot mirrors, Raydot Windshield brackets on their way. Found cool expansion tank, oil puke tank kit, fuel log, radiator stainless coolant tubes....and the list goes on and on....

Sure would but would have to modify the footboxes and Ford stock would have to go up to about $20.00 a share...

Thumbs up All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!

Good morning my friend,
What a awesome car!!!!!!!!!
I was thinking about you yesterday and here came a link to this beautiful new car. After all these years I think I know you fairly well and I have faith that whatever flavor FE from Keith you settle on will have enough "pucker" for anyone in the passenger seat. I also know that you are now " the kid in the candy store", so I can't wait to see this beauty when it's finished in the Fall.
Take care my friend and another "stunning beauty" is in the Sharapata pipeline.
John Russell

I like it a lot even without the stripes. Are going with under car exhaust?

Clois,

No it is the SC car with side exhaust. Plan to make the headers and pipes black. I originally thought about chroming the rollbar, quickjacks and stainless exhaust but now that I have the car going to stay with black. Kind of reminds me of the Gumball Rally Cobra for the 70s movie.
