I attended the street rod nationals in Louisville this Sunday with Eliminator. After the show we took a short ride back to his house to view the Juanmobile. VERY nice car! The paint color is outstanding, the motor is very clean, the new Unique carpet kit is a huge improvement especially in the trunk area (more storage), the grill and the exhaust turned out great. Alan did a wonderful job of wiring the car. I do like the changes he made to the trunk wiring and how he ran it. The fit on the body panels and especially the doors were perfect. The top looked great and the fit was top notch. If anyone is thinking about a turn key minus due to a lack of ability or resources in their area, think no more, the workmanship is incredible. Alan and Maurice are damn talented! There was a Superformance turn key car at the show (460, stainless exhaust,top, all the options) and it looked VERY nice however, after looking at Juans car you really start to see the HUGE differences in the two cars. Juans car is a detailed reproduction of a Cobra. The Superformance is NOT.

Hi Justin , I just went through the same symptoms that you are going through now . Juan also caused mine with his build pictures . I have a 427 car ordered . This was caused by Ralph Scott last year at the Shades of The Past in Pigion Forge . Ralph is a very nice guy and gave me my first ride in a Cobra . That was all it took . I visited the painter this past Friday to see the car painted . It is going back to Alabama today and could be ready for me to pick up some time next week . My problem I leave for Indonesia on Monday . I will have to wate 2 to 3 weeks knowing it is ready before i can go pick it up . I know the next few weeks will seem like a year . I will try to post pictures when I take delivery of my car .

Thanks again for the ride Ralph .

Thanks Rick, I enjoy showing off the car. The Unique is the best of the lot as far as I'm concerned.

Please post some pics so we can share in your excitement. Good luck in Indonesia.

Ralph , You are welcome . Unique cars are very good cars . This is one of the reasons we decided to buy a Unique . The car is not what sold me though . It was the way my wife and I were treated by the Weavers on our first trip to Alabama to see their operations . We felt like we were part of the family from the time we walked through the door. We stoped looking at other makers after the first trip to Unique .

Looking good Gearie. Still looking for the pillow that you use when you sleep with it

With our body off to the painters, there seems to be a shortage of parts to work on. So, I improvised on what little I had left laying around the garage. A light polish on the gas tank and a new sending unit satisfied my need for at least one weekend.

How sick and wrong is that? It's under carpet for hell sakes!

I know Brian it is a nice piece. Build it the way you want to... I covered mine as I felt the stuff in the trunk would rattle a bit on the tank top and mess-up the tank looks. I certainly couldn't hear it rattle...

After I cleaned mine I shot it with Bed Liner Spray, that insulated it so it would keep the juice "cool".

Build Update:
Today I picked up license plates - the car is licensed in the State of Washington as a '65 Cobra Roadster!
I ordered side and rear mirrors today. That's the last things I can think of (besides insurance - later today) to keep me from driving the car hopefully next week!!!!
