A Fantastic Cobra
In the sister site to CHR (Club Cobra), there is a thread regarding a car being built by the Kirkham guys in Utah. It is at least two orders of magnitude above most cars built today....
Here is the thread....mostly pictures

The link above starts you on page 3 where the pics get interesting and it goes on for quite a bit.

The pictures go on and on...the customer gave them an unlimited budget to make a billet frame.....with their CAD horsepower and their CNC shop, it looks like they are doing a real nice job.....next should be a 32 roadster with similar underpinnings....now, where is that PowerBall ticket???

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

The other day my broker was quizzing me on what would be a good car project for he and his high school aged son to get into. Hmmmmm.......maybe I should steer him into one of these. It'd be nice to participate in something that gets into HIS wallet for a change.

When David first started on this project (I knew he was up to something when he showed me the ex military lathes he had just bought) I told it he was either a complete genius or had far too much time on his hands
..........Of course from the work that his company puts out (if you ever meet him, ask him about the aluminum 34 Ford he built for Ford), we know him to be a real genius, and a very humble down to earth one at that.

Mike thanks for sharing this link. Wow! Wow! Wow!
Unbelievable. We have some friends locally that were given cart blanc on a hot rod project, that was beautiful. But this just takes it to the Nth degree! Very cool.
Dave I thought it was my turn this week to win powerball!!

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
