I still check in every once in awhile, but nothing like the old days. Social media has made a huge impact on forums, but there's still so much great info in the archives here.
This car is beautiful. It's nice to see one done up in "street" trim.
I did not.
Thank you!!
Looking to see what tire sizes you guys with FIAs and 15" wheels have used. I've always run 235/60/15 on front and 255/60/15 in back, but I'm looking to replace them with Avons and they don't offer...
I just saw the update on CobraCountry, and wanted to express my condolences to the Weaver family. I am so sorry for your loss. I spoke with Jean several times on the phone, and she was always so...
The local Cobra club had an event out at Kansas Speedway a few years back, and I was able to get mine up to 143. That was not radar gun confirmed, just what the speedo said (and I've never had it...
Love the chassis. Love the power. Love the performance.
But it sure is ugly.
Chris:
AWESOME!
I used EVT back in '03 as well, and I wasn't real happy with them. The driver who delivered the car was fine, but the lack of communication and follow up from the home office, the lack of ability to...
Yeah, the original cars were offest as well. Here's a shot of CSX2009:

I've heard of this happening now from several folks. Happened to a buddy of mine who owns an FFR Daytona Coupe. Same circumstances: he was driving the car at an open track, and the starter bolts...
Hahaha! That was taken at the Mid-America Motorplex in Pacific Junction, Iowa. The track is situated just a few hundred yards from I-29. What's funny is that traffic will sometimes slow way down as...
Yeah, that's the car I'm mimicking.
They won't let us replicas play at the historic races...although some do consider CSX2259 a replica ;).
But I do have a heck of a lot of fun with my car at...
I don't have nearly the hp that most of the guys do around here. I've only got about 360 or 370 at the crank, with roughly the same torque numbers. My first gear goes by quick, but it's definitely...
We just recently got cameras here in Kansas City, and they take photos of both the front and back of the car, so they'll get us no matter what. I refuse to run a front plate on my car even though...
For me, the top-loader isn’t an option, as I’ve driven too many Cobras with them and those drives made me realize that I want an overdrive gear (even if it’s just a .82). The majority of fellas...
Bill D:
You can build it anyway you want - and if somebody says it's wierd, who cares? It's your car to enjoy. Now if you are worried about re-sale value, or flippant comments made by purists, then...
But they're 1/18th scale.
My company has put together a grass-roots promotion to get some exposure for our little company, where I am simply contacting as many Ford car clubs as possible, and...
Nah, because I didn't build it - I am actually the second owner of the car. I found it on CobraCountry.com back on '03, and at that time, the popularity of the 289s had not really started to take...
Why yes, Bill D's avatar is my car, which loosely replicates CSX2259 as driven by Dan Gurney and Bob Johnson at Daytona in 1964. I had never heard of "All Things Cobra" until today - amazing how...
Here are the paint codes I have for Viking Blue:
PPG-DBU is System 3753 Code E
Sherman Williams is UX 7262 62-63 Ford Code E
15" Compomotives w/crappy Goodyear Eagle II tires.
Looks like one of the new "space saver" single column lifts:

Looks to me like this lift failed. Because if the platform was...
