fuzzy,frame look's good can't see any run's from my house..

[Fuzzy]

When we got all done, Kelsey asked me how I thought it looked; I took off my glasses and told her it looked  great to me.  And I thought I was the only one.....   When you are eight, any praise is good praise.

GO FUZZY GO!!!!!!!  ARE YOU DONE YET!!!!! HURRY UP!!!!!!!

[Fuzzy]

I'm hoping Social Secruity doesn't go belly up before I finish my build, I might need the extra bucks...

[Fuzzy]

Front suspension all buttoned up assuming I put it together right.  Picture isn't backwards, its' a right hand drive car so steering is on the opposite side. Left side done too.

[Fuzzy]

Haven't been doing a lot of work since November.  Finally got back into the garage the past two weeks, did some touch up grinding on the majority of the litte brackets, cleaned them up with radius and rounds and smoothed out some of the dirt painted into the parts.  Used a Nippon Automotive paint to brighten them up.  Also got the emergency brake lines in and the brake tubes all put in other than up to the resevoirs. Still need to so some line adjusting for fit.  Trying to get an aluminum gas tank made here but no one seems in a hurry to quote.  What financial crisis?

Hey Ken
Nice job!!! You signed my GT40 guestbook so I had to see your build.  Looks like you are going to have a lot of fun tooling around Indonesia with a Cobra.  Car looks good.

Cheers
Bill

Fuzzy,  You got the "Clean Machine"...looking very nice.    

For sure, you'll have one of the nicest ( if not thee nicest Cobra) in the land. keep it coming.

Thank you for the kind words.  As one of my friends has stated, it will be the nicest right hand drive Hurricane ever put together.   I think it has something to do with it being the only RHD kit too but he wouldn't say.

We've been slowly painting brackets, steering shafts, driveshaft, motor mounts and other assorted bits to stop rust, ran the fuel line, battery cables and such and got to the point in the manual where it says this might be a good time to mount the motor....well...ok then, Kelsey and I pulled off the front frame work this week and wrangled the every trusty hoister uppper into place and we dropped, well actually lowered the motor/ trans into place, not bad for the two of us working alone.  We really plan everything out first  and keep our fingers, toes and noses out of harms way and in about a half hour we were in place.... Kelsey doing her "pulling the rope trick" on the trans to line it up

[Fuzzy]

Ok, its a SBC, I'm not real good with the alphabet yet...there is only one other "real" replica in Indonesia and its an Almac out of New Zealand built by a Kiwi friend of mine, very nicely built with a home made chassis, Mitusbishi GTO rear end and SBC powered.  The two will probably never be together though as they are miles apart and on different islands. Lot of coconut trees and pot holes between.   Here is ours as it sits today:

First test drive:

Paul Sharpe's Almac from NewZealand.  Built by Paul in 2007/2008.  SBC powered with home made chassis of his own design (old drag car builder).   Padang, Sumatra Island, Indonesia
