major changes to #2347

[tony chiles]

I think Hoofa would be proud(if you were on the old forum a long time ago, that would make sense)
These changes were done in 2014
full drop butt mod, that looks like crap

someone hold my beer, I can fix that, re-arching the fender profile

looks like the car needs to be widen, we can do that

1.5" should be enough, on each side

[tony chiles]

you would think that after all that I would be thru cutting on my little cobra, and I was, BUT then I lost a clutch and I had no desire to pull that motor out and with my new back bone in the car the trans was trapped
below is my new and improved cross member and trans mount. someone- someday will thank me for that, when they work on this car.

[2FAST4U]

Wow! What a transformation. Beautifully done

[aks801]

Man, some nice work there.

A Hoofa reference! That's been a while.

[CraigS]

Very nicely done. I especially like the rear fenders. I thought I liked the MkIV rears until I saw a 90 degree side shot and realized they look like the axle is 2 inches too far rearward. Yours are much better.

[Bobby Doug]

I am impressed. Outstanding work!!!

[GWL]

Excellent work, I too like that rear end. We used to see more of these kinds of modifications, in the past, and some of it was from you with your hardtop.

Again great work, George

[Jeff Kleiner]

Great work as always Tony :)

[j.miller]

Trick brother....very "TRICK" Love those twins !!...da Bat

[MPTech]

Wow! You have some major Cojones to cut into a finished roadster like that, but the end result is great looking!
Yes, I think Hoofa would be proud! (and you finished your project!)

[cgundermann]

Very, very nice work! Love that motor...
