    Sin City Build

    Was able to snag one of the 25th anniversary units. Completion date of the kit is 11/9.

    Planning on a Coyote powerplant and as many extras as I can afford. It's going to be an interesting journey for sure.

    Pics (and questions) to follow!

    Congrats Canyon! Very cool that you were able to get the anniversary edition. I'm in the middle of my build. What side of town are you on? I'm down in Mountains Edge.

    Canyon,

    Welcome to the Las Vegas Group. Scoring a 25th anniversary edition is at the top of the WOW! factor.
    I see you have already been told about the other builders that are in progress. If you haven't been to or told about the groups gatherings, we assemble (sorta) on Saturday mornings at the Sansone Center on Eastern Av, just south of the 215. Right outside Twin Peaks. So come on down and say "Hi" and meet the other Cobra owners/builders . . . Congrats on the 25th.

    I'm in Green Valley.

    bobm488,

    We gather every Saturday from 7:00 to about 9-9:30. Usually parked right in front of the Twin Peaks bar. The Sansone Center is just south of the 215 freeway, Eastern Ave exit, south to Richmar, turn left into center. We're in the lot to the right. If you don't see us standing there, we're at the Einsteins Bagel shop at the north end of the center.

    Hope ta see ya there . . .

    Looking good, Canyon! I'm about at this stage on mine too. I kind of have my build in a holding pattern as I work through other "LIFE things" that have more of a priority at this moment in time. Keep on building...
