    Hi Duke,
    I just saw your build thread here.
    WOW... Extremely well documented with tons of photos.. You prepped & painted it yourself!!! Amazing job.. If you are in the area I would love to check out your build...
    I love the undercar exhaust. Such a nice reflection of the car without a sidepipe. Extra bonus is no burned legs.
    All the best to you and your car!

    Last week I put a gopro on the cobra and took it for a ride. This was probably the last fall drive as it snowed last night. This is my first attempt at any type of video/editing so it may be a little rough. Anyways...

    Very nice build. I love the clean look with no hood scoop or side pipes. Very nice sound to the car. Well done.

    Duke,

    Love the build thread and the end product. Much to learn from and much respect on the self-guided body work and paint.

    Took delivery and started my build in August (still trying to get a build thread going...)

    I'm local to you (i.e.Taxachusetts). I would love to connect with you sometime to get some insight and pointers on the registration and inspection process here in our lovely state.

    Thanks again,

    Mark

    New toy arrived Friday. I guess I gotta keep up with the Jones's (aka Scott)

    930 turbo race car/street car. 440hp to the rear wheels, 2,500 lbs. wet. Pulls a little harder than the cobra, but I'm still waiting on fresh rubber and warmer weather before I line them up against each other. Waiting for spring to arrive before I can finally clean out the New England road salt/mud from the garage.

    Quite often, members on the forum convince other members into purchasing upgrades for their FFR kits (help them spend their money)...but this is getting out of hand. I don't think my wife will go for this one. HAHA

    Dude... I know your handle is Duke, but Dude!!!

    You are killing me!! First that beautiful build. Now, that crazy Porsche!! Good grief. Frank is right, there's no way the wife will approve that one!!

    Congratulations on the garage upgrade. Also, with the ceramic topcoat on the Roadster. I think it will really set off that stunning black paint!

    Just for the record though. Scott got himself a NEW Porsche, and recently added an older Porsche to work on. Seems to me you are a Porsche short... Just sayin'...

    Regards,

    Steve

    Just for the record Ryan mentioned lining them up against each other when the weather got warmer. It is warmer and I will be seeing him this Wednesday! Which do I get to drive?

    lol, thx. I have an architect currently working on a 40x32 garage for me so I can solve the space issue. After that, I have a 56 on the drawing board with a speedtech chassis and probably a TT LS motor, although I'm trying to see if my wife wants a classic 911 or a modern one made to look like a classic for her.

    Something like these two...

    Duke-

    Great new project choices! I really like the relatively recent trend towards resto-mods. It can really make an older vehicle more user and even daily driver useful in many cases. To me, that is so much better than a trailer queen; in my opinion...

    A 40 x 32 garage will be great! I am hoping my next place will have something similar, or that CINCHOUSE allows me to build one. I only have two moves left in me. One to my retirement house, and the next into a box. So, I need to get that retirement house just right! HA!

    In the meantime, I will live vicariously through guys like you!! Awesome Duke!!

    Regards,

    Steve

    Hey Ryan........what stops the caliper from moving within the groove when the brake is released? I know it can't go anywhere as the rotor will hold it from sliding out but what about movement and the pads rubbing against the rotor when turning? Am I missing something? Shouldn't that caliper be secured to the brace other than it sliding in? Mine is very loose...........
