    20th Anniversary build- Always more to do.

    I have worked on the car almost every day. Small details that just could get done while I wait for a few more parts to show up. Did the panels behind the door frame where there was a gap. Elephant ears are on with bulb seal. Radiator shroud needed some attention and I stuck a piece of leftover powder coated aluminum over the rivets holding on the lower shroud and behind the holes for the oil cooler tubes. Couldn't come up with any thing else satisfactory to plug them. Thought about making a whole new piece but then it would be back to the powder coater and more time. My hood was rolling the front d seal up and called Jeff Miller which he had an answer to. "Just trim the seal back to the hinges as nothing is sealed really anyway with the hood scoop and side louvers present". So I did and it works perfect. I actually like the cleaner look up front when the hood is open. Just have to finish up these wheel wells. I finally found the material I was looking for to make some removable half liners. I'm going with another Jeff idea as the whole wheel wells don't need to be covered, just the back half. I'm using a heat moldable material inside the wells with monstaliner over the top. They should be totally removable. I had to order more of the stuff so should get it tomorrow and apply the bed liner on Thursday or Friday. My car should be on the deck by the weekend and ready for the next step- registration and licensing.

    20th Anniversary build- Wheel well liners

    Worked till late last night on my liners. Monstaliner goes on thick on the second coat per the instructions. It soaked 3/4 of the way through my heat moldable material. Just about what I wanted for stiffness. I said totally removable in my last post and this statement is true for the backs of the front wheel wells. The rest had to be sealed to the body. Just have to get some nutserts through the removable pieces and should be complete. I think the way the bottoms of the moldable panels fit should protect the lower edges of the body with these.

    Jim-

    All the finishing touches look great, especially the wheel well liners. Very nice work.

    One question... could you post a close-up picture of the emblem you placed in the radiator opening?

    Thanks, and I can't wait to see the graduation post!

    Regards,

    Steve

    20th Anniversary build- Before i lower it

    Thanks Scott and Steve. Steve here is a close up of the emblem. I think it turned out well. The wheel well liners took way more time than I thought it would. A lot of edges that needed to be perfect. Today I am going to lower the car to the ground. I'm excited that it is getting this close to driving. The five spinners came in from Factory Five that needed to be replaced after the powder coater said he could do them. Destroyed my four plus a friends I had borrowed. Stopped by there the other day and the owner wrote a check for all five. He kept his word on either fixing them or replacement. I just need to give him a ride sometime. I have the side emblems coming on Thursday too. Took the 20th anniversary side emblems out and the chrome was all bubbled up. Called Factory Five and they are shipping replacements out and need the ones I have back. I wonder if this has been a quality control issue with a vendor? Here is five pictures I took this morning. Try to get it outside for another this afternoon if the weather is good. Jim

    20th Anniversary build- outside

    Did make it outside today in between rain showers. I think I am going to like the next part that comes after the build. Had to do a 8 ft tire test and it worked. Here is a youtube of the car. https://youtu.be/KN6d_jDqlMA

    I was anticipating seeing the action that left those tire marks behind the car. The video I watched was just 29 seconds of the car running at idle with nobody in it. I was thinking I was going to see a burnout.

    Went to the DOL today and it took all of 10 minutes to get my plates. The hard part I am dealing with is my insurance carrier is State Farm and they want an appraisal of the car and the cost of labor to build one of these too. I told them I have all the receipts and the labor is not included in the total because it is a kit and we build these cars ourselves. They wont insure me.

    I don't know if state farm will do it, but I already talked to my Allstate rep and they will do a "stated value policy". You state the value, they figure out what it will cost you to insure it. I don't know if I will use Allstate to insure the car after it is licensed, but it is an option. I currently have it insured with Midwest Classic Insurance on a "stated value basis". Price was right and they are very easy to work with.

    Jim-

    Thanks for the detailed pics of the emblem you made. I really like it, and like Paul (EdwardB) said, it looks great down there in the oil cooler opening.

    Your paint looks terrific too! The red really pops, and really looks awesome! Very nice paint job!

    Not sure how I feel about that teaser video... Like the others, I was expecting to see how those marks on the pavement came to be. I will look forward to some action shots sometime soon.

    Thanks again for the pics!

    Regards,

    Steve

    20th Anniversary build- 50 mile road test

    Wow, The power is incredible. Tracks true down the road and on the freeway. It is very loud, but at 1800 rpms it is fairly quite and that is the setting I shoot for traveling in the different gears. A neighbor watching me launch off the corner did say he saw some gas leave the back passenger corner. The metal down tube going into the gas tank does seem like it needs maybe a zip tie around it. Can't think of anything else to do with it except replace it. This is with a full tank of gas. Here is another video and it is not a tire test, sorry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJVo17ieBnU

    I tried a few different insurance companies. Grundy, State Farm, and a local guy that insures kit cars. Ended up going with Midwest Classic (888-271-4000, Robbin Terry) and they had the better price for $50k value.

    20th Anniversary build- Another run

    Fixed my gas leak today. Ended up being the grommet that the fuel down spout goes into was cracked. The new one was hard to get in too. All is sealed now and put another 58 miles on the car today. Visited my friend Chris and took him and his bride for a little spin for inspiration as we had them painted down in California together and I worked nonstop to get mine done before the weather sets in. I think they were as impressed as I am about how the car handles (like its on rails) and massive power to use. Got home in the dark. It was a full day after work and then a cobra cruise. Here is another pic at home.

    Very cool. So pleased to see you driving now and that you're happy with it. Looks amazing too. With all the latest stuff the Anniversary builds have on them plus set up properly, they ride and drive amazingly well. I know it's early, but what's your impression of the UniSteer electric steering so far?

Visited my friend Chris and took him and his bride for a little spin for inspiration as we had them painted down in California together and I worked nonstop to get mine done before the weather sets in. I think they were as impressed as I am about how the car handles (like its on rails) and massive power to use. Got home in the dark. It was a full day after work and then a cobra cruise. Here is another pic at home.
    It was a blast and a great motivator. My bride wants me to hurry up and get mine on the road. I was very impressed with the ride as well as the handling. It will be interesting to see how my straight 3 link axle compares...

    The UniSteer electric steering is amazing when on. Feels smooth and crisp. Turn it down and the work load just goes up. I don't know if it would be good to compare to other manual steering cars as I set the alignment for power steering. My manual may be just slightly harder than others. It's nice to compare both on this car though.

    20th Anniversary build- Graduation Day!

    We had a really good day of driving on this graduation day. A Fall day with cooler crisp air. Now we are at 220 miles. I am really impressed with the Holley Fuel injection. Starts every time and I never stall at takeoff. Used the electric steering more today switching it to different settings on the curves. I guess I like both or in between. Car just drives amazing. Went over to the water front today to get some pics and stopped by the Lemay Car Museum. The front was coned off so we pulled to the curb to take some pics. Out came the workers and said to pull up front. Got some good pictures and a lot of people came out to see the car. Next we went to Point Defiance Park and got a few more. I am really happy I built this car and feel like it is a part of me now.
    I would like to thank Factory Five For making such an awesome car. Edwardb also helped me a lot with all his posts. Thanks Paul. Also *David Hodgkins for running this forum and making it all possible, as I don't think I could have done this all myself. Mike Forte helped me with an incredible engine package. I say wow to that part. Breeze provided me with so many parts I am very thankful.

    Chris can't wait to have yours at this point too. We are going to have a lot of adventures. I am sure of that.

    I hope to get another 300 or so miles before the weather gets to wet. Then I can go through it completely again.

    Thanks for the shout out. You're certainly welcome. You did an awesome job on the build and now the fun of driving and owning. Get used to the attention. It doesn't stop. Or get old. I wonder how many of the 20th Anniversary Roadsters are done? There was a pretty good accounting of where they all went when sold. But I only know about yours and mine that are actually done and driving.

    Jim took me out this afternoon in his car for most of the latter part of the day and I could not be more impressed with how she drove, shifted, braked and her overall ride quality. He was nice enough to let me drive her for a bit and now I have kicked my build into overdrive to get mine out there.

    SUPER fast and the variable electronic steering is freaking awesome to play with on the fly. Jim should be happy with his gorgeous Cobra; totally addictive to drive!

    Much to be proud of my friend!

    Awesome! Glad you got a ride and some extra motivation. Of course this means now both of you have failed me on positing an action video! haha
