My complete kits was delivered on December 10, 2013 and I got started on the build in January of 2014. Lots of delays, headaches, questions, occasional answers and tons of fun. My official finish date is June 29, 2017 at 3:30 am (although I have quite a list of things to do over the winter). By 8:30 that morning I was on the road with fellow Cobra owners on a cruise from Salt Lake City through southwestern Colorado. After a detour to Denver to see my son, I returned to Utah with 1800 miles on the odometer and no breakdowns. It was the drive of a lifetime. Added another 500 miles or so after that. Now it's time to put her to bed for the winter.
