Welcome to the forum!

[Mtnest]

Welcome aboard!! Waiting for my kit to arrive here in Montana. Have fun ruddy!

[Bob Cowan]

Nope, none here. Kit cars and open roadsters are pretty much illegal in Colorado. ;)

Bob:

Sorry but that's not true. I checked with motor vehicle prior to making the decision. They gave me a packet of things I will need to license the vehicle and obtain title. Here are some websites to verify. I hope this doesn't discourage others from building a car, because it is possible, just have to follow the steps to get it licensed. There is one Cobra that I know of in Fort Collins, where I live. I've seen many others at the car show held yearly in Steamboat Springs.

Welcome Ruddy,

Bob was just kidding (notice smiling). I meet Bob once at a Mile High Cobra club meeting, and I believe he has a FFR roadster. I have a MKIV that I am building in Lakewood (just starting), and I have a friend just finishing a MKIII in Greeley and another friend with a MKIV in the go kart stage in Monument. The Mile Cobra Club meeting that I attended had at least 8 FFR folks there if not more.

Just pullin' your chain, Ruddy. :)

There's lots of folks around here afflicted with this disease - must be the high altitude. We're reasonable active, and get together pretty often. Colorado is one of the best places on the planet to drive a Cobra. Or pretty much any sports car, for that matter. Once you get away from I-25, the roads are just spectacular. And if you live outside of the Denver area, it's pretty easy to get a car registered here, too. Relatively speaking anyway.

You should consider joining the Mile Hi Cobra Club. We have a lot of members who joined long before their cars were finished. Good place for info, guidance, and friendship. www.milehicobraclub.com

I live just south of Denver and have had my kit about 9 mos and making steady progress. I would be glad to answer any questions. Just let me know.

Hi Don...

Good to hear there are others building the MKIV. I'd be interested in visiting with others that are going thru the process. I'm in Ft. Collins and Greeley is close as are the other locations you mentioned. I'll check out the Mile Hi Cobra Club. How often and where do they meet?

Hi Colorado builders....

Does anyone know if Cat Converters are required on Cobra Kits in Colorado?

Thank you in advance.

We have one meeting a year, usually some time in Jan or Feb. The rest of the time we sort of meet sporadically for a Sunday drive or something fun. We just got back from a nice club drive and lunch. We also do some week end trips, and Cruise Colorado is a week long drive event. Check out the web site for more info. Once you join, you'll be on the e-mail list for events and stuff.

No. As long as the car is titled as a Kit Car, you don't need a smog check.

You might have seen my car. I also am in Fort Collins. You have a PM.

Derald:

I may have. There's a Blue with white strip where my son lives on the west side of town. Is that you? Don't understand PM.

[Derald Rice]

Rudy, PM refers to a Private Message.

In the extreme upper right hand corner of all the pages in the forum, there is a line that says;

"Welcome, Rudy On Duty..........Notifications.......My Profile.......Settings..........Log Out"

Click on the word Notifications, and a drop down box will give you a link to your private messages.

I have also sent you an email with the same information.

Derald.

Hey Rudy.
Welcome to the community. What day is your MK4 due to arrive? Base or complete? What Engine??What options did you order?
I am also building a MK4 here in Ft Collins C.O. Mine arrived in late June of last year. I am within a few weeks of my first start and go cart....
When you have time , come by and check it out sometime. Send me a PM.
I am sure you know already but, Derald has a great car and is very helpful as well...
