Any New York builds? Upstate or otherwise?
I know I'm not on this forum as much in the past but, just seeing less activity out there.
Who's building and who's driving in New York, Upstate or on the Island?

good evening Supreme Commander, I'm driving, although we're all still building, modding or repairing, aren't we. I'm in Delmar, NY and already on the Upstate Cobra's list.

Craig - I'm about an hour away from you the other side of the Hudson in Dutchess County. Look me up if you're over this side and look out for updates from Pat - I drive up and meet the 'Upstate' crew on occasion.

Born and raised in Poughkeepsie and lived in Millbrook and Rhinebeck for 30 years. I’m in Poughkeepsie/L.I./CT every month for work and every time I’m there, I wish I could drive my roadster on my hometown roads. (Even though the road conditions are terrible there)

Am now sort of in the southern tier of NY State - then sometimes in Pittsburgh and sometimes in Texas but gradually more often in NYS!
I have to pickup a new body from FFR for my well broken in body - by deer, other cars out on the track shooting gravel on the front of my car, and the occasional young drivers not looking at the road and bump me from behind. It's the hazards of driving a car! 
FFR made me a new body - car that is! New garage going up in a few days, 24x24 for me to play in once more. This winter hope to have the body painted and installed on my car.

Restart of this tread, to beat the bushes for the Lake George Summer Run on July 8-10. Come out and join us for some great driving around the Adirondack Mountains! Last year was a blast and hoping to increase the Cobra count for 2022!
Let me know if you can make it!

My car is at paint now. Due back late March early April. Very good chance she will be street legal by then. Would love to join. I live just down the road in Niskayuna.

Its been a few years, I figured it would be worth a shoutout to see if there are any new builders/owners in Upstate New York, or even Western Massachusetts. I keep track of the loose confederation that calls itself the “Upstate Cobras”, open to any Factory Five builder, along with owners of all makes of Cobras & Daytonas.
Thanks,
Pat
