I am not in the least bit surprised. I'm loosely counting the man hours and I'm certain my guess is not near the actual.
Thanks man. I think this car will be way cooler than an everyday GT350. You won’t be able to go to a dealer and get this one...nor will anyone be able to copy it.
Every spot weld is getting filled and smoothed. Got the car and engine bay taped up and ready for primer.
So given the unfortunate events with the cobra in the past, how many of these fantastic examples you own, and the level of work you've put into them... do you insure all of them for a really high agreed value? Does your insurance make you show all these pics as well for proof?
I have a collector car insurance company and they are great. They know me and the level of cars. They ask me how much and I tell them and that’s pretty much it. It’s agreed value and anything happens again, I’m good financially
Working the inner fenders as well to smooth them.
looking better. Most shops are ready to paint now. I’m just getting warmed up.

That is just ridiculous. I wish I still lived in Cleveland TN. I'd be over there this weekend just to see this thing in person!
Lol! Tours are always welcome....but just wait, You ain’t seen nothing yet.
More blocking. Quarter and door blocked down yet again. Fixed the damage around the exhaust cutouts and sanded the bumper down. Fixing any other issues or the bumper as well. And started bodyworking the hood
It's hard to put into words and pictures don't do justice to the amount of skill and work it takes to produce exceptional work.
i'm positive the end result will be spectacular.
But for now it's prime and sand some more!

Thanks...it’s a ton of work, blood and sweat but well worth it to do one to the extreme. And it’s only going to get more intenseIt's hard to put into words and pictures don't do justice to the amount of skill and work it takes to produce exceptional work.

Going to be heading down to the smoky mountains in the spring, may have to take you up on a tour...lol
Just curious if you know what wheels you'll run, not sure what stock was ?

I’ll run the stock Saleen Lemans wheels widened to 11.5 in the rear and a set of True Forged wheels that are 18x11 and 18x9.
Lol! Yep. Same here. I mean don’t get me wrong. You get a lot of bang for the buck, I just prefer cars that are hand built or somewhat unique.Started making sticky traps for them around here
Well, your goin see a lot of the underside of this hood. Going from unfinished to smooth as glass. Also prepping and coating every piece of the car, including crash bars
Another sand and prime on the underside raw fiberglass area. Another block and prime in the passenger side quarter. Priming the repaired areas on the bumper
