Ever since he was born its been my dream that became his dream as well, and its about to begin. 16 1/2 years ago he arrived, after his 3 sisters, and I knew then I'd want to do a project together that we would remember a lifetime. What better than the iconic cobra. (Just to be fair, if any of his sisters would have shown an interest, I would have gladly began it with them too.) He's a JR in high school now, and the goal is to have this done in order for him to take it to some of his last semester events. Prom, graduation, ect... It's got off to a slow start, Stewart Transport got delayed with bad weather last month, but arrival finally estimated the 16th, or 17th. The shop is ready with jack stands and empty shelves waiting. Rear axle assembly also on its way. I've been enjoying the forum lots, and look forward to learning more as we go along. Any tips, advice welcome! This is your invitation to pipe in anytime. Figured having the thread here will save the build experience to relive later, allow much needed tips along the way, as well as hopefully inspire any other fathers looking for a meaningful father/son experience. Here's our build plan so far. I already regret not going with the IRS, however, no plans for much track time, so it's not too huge of a disappointment.
