The Snake is Back!

A team of willing volunteers have assembled themselves for one purpose... to bring my '65 Cobra dream back to life. Thanks to Shane Turner and Mike Williams the Cobra has been brought out of winter storage and being preped for a rapid completion. When?.. Starts today and is estimated to be finished and road-ready in a matter of weeks. The picture above is Allen English's FFR Cobra which I've been using as model for period correctness. Below is my Cobra in it's current condition.. near complete.
My dad and I have been working on this "father-son" project since April of 2007. Our original goal was to build it in 90 days. Later that year, in November, I was diagnosed with more cancer. A cancer thought to have been dealt with a few years earlier. Today, after 7 surgeries and nearly 2 years later the Cobra remains incomplete.
Thank you Shane and Mike for the rebirthing of a dream.
