Part 7- Repairing the frame

[RJacobsen]

In this section I will go over some of the repairs and/or changes that I am making to the frame. The previous owner added bracing that I will remove or change and cut away pieces (including the entire rear portion of the frame) that I need to replace.


If you look close at the next picture, you will notice that the front body mounting tab is gone as well as the jack bar mount. I have no idea why this was done but figured this was a good place to start the repairs.



This shot shows the newly fabricated parts welded on. With the body in place I am able to line up these items. I will finish any welding that I can't get to later, after the body is removed.



to be continued.....

Any new progress Rod?

Tony, I'm afraid it's been hard to find time to work on the car lately. I've had alot of out of town work. But the best excuse I have for not working on the car was the arival of my first grandson on 3-4-2006, this is one thing thats way more fun than a Cobra.

Handsome boy Rod! Congrates!
Car can wait a little.

[RJacobsen]

Thanks Tony. Yah, I'm having too much fun with the little guy but I'll get back at the car soon.

Rod,
With the Spence car home from the paint shop I have been wondering lately about my "kindred spirit" rescue Cobra...Any progress lately? Hope to see you at the homecoming in the spring, we'll be there!
