Bruce, buddy! This is coming along nicely. I am so glad you decided to take this kit on, cannot wait for more updates!!
-
Looks good Bruce! I see you decided on the distributor....definitely not cool, to tell you “you do the research “... but remember not all cobras where built the same...
-
Tim, they are more than worthy! As you have told me in the past “it’s the sum of the parts” and boy it’s a lot of teeny parts

I thought I was slacking, but nope, just doing other things. I have been slowly getting the tub where I need to. There is a lot of stuff that goes into it. The directions ask you to attach the tub to the rear engine cage. I decided not to, I don’t want to over handle everything and have something tragic happen.
building the front frame took a wile to do, I am glad I used the tub as a jig, If I was gonna try without it, it would take forever.Hopefully I will get the tub painted and also the front frame soon.
thanks for looking

Outstanding stuff Bruce!! That black reminds me of 32 Ford I had the pleasure of working on.

So after 3 + months, I picked up where I left off, sorta... I did get extremely frustrated with the decals and wings. I enlisted some help from a great friend to get me through this. Thanks BRUCE TANAKA!! For the help?
I hope to get some more work done on this, but this is where I am at.Thank you for looking

Good stuff Bruce!! I sure wish you got parts more frequently, waiting to see how this turns out
-
This evening I had a chance to install them, as well as the sway bar and the rest of the the braces. I had them already painted a couple weeks ago.
thanks for looking

Last night I was able to paint the coils

I had a chance to get some work done today, I was able to squeeze the engine into the rear frame. Attached the gear box. The exhaust is complete, just need to do some weathering on it. Also got a couple of braces in as well. Now what I need to work on is the drive shafts and coils, and the rest of the chassis braces.
This kit is a test of patience and perseverance. It’s coming along well, just hope I can keep it going ?Thanks for looking

I spent the entire weekend painting the rear frame. Actually about an hour of spraying, most of the time waiting on it to dry.
I used Eastwood’s epoxy primer and paint in chassis black.
-
Looking good Bruce! But you are showing off ???
-
Should be a great adventure, I am sure you’ll do a great job on this. Besides I need some one else to join me in therapy ?
-
Bruce this is looking fantastic, you do out of the box well ?
-
Thank you, it’s going to get more interesting as I move forward. Not much going on at the moment. I ordered some epoxy paint for the frame, after talking to other people who have built this type of kit, the engine takes a little finessing to get it the frame.
-
Looking good Bruce ?
-
Great stuff Bruce!! Maybe the therapist will off a discount on a group session ?

Road and Track had a few 917 pics this month, that I thought might be useful...
Wrong car, obviously - but I thought of this build when I saw them!
Thank you for the photos, I appreciate the thought! Any form of reference photos is always a great help.

I know this an old thread, I was curious on what air pressure you used and also what you used for cleanup?
I just got this sealer to try and not very good directions for using and been trying to finish this project. Any help would be greatly appreciated
