    Woohoo! I'm next in Jeff's shop for paint! Now I just need to get a transporter lined up. I'm going with Spectra Blue and Pearl White stripes. I should have the car back and road legal before the end of the driving season!

    Thanks, guys! I'm pretty excited to get it "done". I just booked transportation and Jeff should have the car the first week of June.

    Today I stood in front of my shelves that have held all those boxes that the kit ships in. Most of the boxes had a couple of odds and ends in them that either needed to get packed to ship with the car to Jeff or consolidated into a couple of boxes of what will go onto my parts sale post. Finally, there are just a few items that I'll finish up with once the car is back in my garage later this summer.

    Here is what my trunk looks like after today's work:



    I'm sending all the roll bar grommets, windshield trim plates, hood scoop, bumpers, weather strip, etc. with the car.

    Dave-

    Congratulations on getting to the head of the line. You must be pretty stoked to arrive at this stage. Jeff does awesome work!

    I like your color choices too. I have always liked the various blue colors with white stripes on these cars. It just has that classic look that we all think of when we think about the Cobra.

    I know it's going to be hard to wait all summer without her in the garage! It's pretty cool that it will be back to you before the driving season is over though.

    Enjoy the anticipation!

    Regards,

    Steve

    Thanks guys! I'll post some pictures and/or video of the car getting loaded up tomorrow. Now I guess it's back to the boss's to-do list for the next couple of months.

    That’s so cool Dave!!!! I’ve followed your build from the beginning. Now your down to the wire!!!! Can’t wait to see updates as it goes. You can’t go wrong with either of the two Jeff’s. I’ve seen both their work (Huntington beach shows) and it’s unmatched. I’ll be using the west coast one, 3 hour drive, if I ever get to that point before he retires or dies lol You have to be so excited!!

    The car got picked up this morning and should be in Bloomington on Tuesday or Wednesday this coming week!





    Chatting with the driver, he shows me a bunch of pictures of CSX2000 being loaded into the very same trailer on its way to auction where it sold for nearly $14M! The car had been on display at the Cobra museum in Boulder, CO.

    Papa,

    I just got off the phone with Jeff. Paint will be a very exciting stage of the build. Just about any color makes these cars pop

    Yeah, it was weird not seeing it in the garage this weekend. I asked Jeff to send pictures as he gets to significant stages so that I can update my build thread as he works his magic.

    Bummer about your headers. I know you'll get them fixed up, but what a pain in the rear to have to take them back off again. I know, I installed headers many times on mine.

    Yeah no doubt. The guy wouldn't even put me at the head of the line to get them corrected, which is why I may be looking for a new jobber, but I've already paid, so have to go back.

    I did Jay's car last year but we still talk regularly...as is the case with many of the guys who started out as customers but became friends Jay's car got the same pearl for the stripe as we plan for yours:





    Talked with your shipper this morning and he expects to arrive tomorrow.

    Cheers,

    Papa,

    Jeff replied before I saw your question to me. Sorry about that. Jeff had my car in the fall and I picked it up February 1st. That's how I know the painting will be exciting. Jeff recommended the pearl white to compliment my red, per his pic of my car. He was spot on with his suggestion. He is a fantastic painter and body man...and a pretty good guy.

    I look forward to seeing your car in paint.

    Jay,

    That's a beautiful car! Jeff actually sent me a picture of yours, a blue one, and a green one with the pearl white stripes. I was sold as soon as I saw those pictures. I'll be doing the two wide with pin stripes in the pearl white (top & bottom of the hood & trunk) over Sprectra Blue. Yep -- another one. It's what I wanted from the start, and what I envision when I think of a Cobra. Every time I started trying to go down a different road, I kept coming back to what my heart was really wanting.

    I’m also on his queue. Just not sure where the line starts or ends.

    Looks good. What type of tool do you need to thread the ends on blank rod?
    Thanks for your detailed build thread. I have read it before but am going back through and getting current.

    Thank you, and you're welcome! For threading the rod, I used a simple tap and die set like this one:

    I'm sure you'll be extremely happy when you get the car back from Sir Jeff.

    This is the best build thread I’ve ever seen. My 12 year old daughter and I studied it so she could get an idea of the project in front of us. Thanks and congrats!
