Hello all, my name is Colby. I live WAY out in the middle of nowhere, an hour Southwest of Amarillo Texas. When I was a kid I drooled over the cobra kit cars, swearing I'd build one as soon as I could afford it. As an adult I realized how little the car would be driven. I insist on air conditioning and a top. I didn't like the look of the Cobra with a top, so I assumed my dream was dead. Several months ago I googled "kit cars" out of nostalgic boredom and came across the 65 coupe. It is hands down the most gorgeous car I have ever seen! I have a 3600 square foot shop. My plan is to spend the winter organizing, throwing away junk, installing bright lights, painting the floor and basically making it worthy of a coupe. I will be ordering by summer, If I can wait that long!

Be advised that a 3,600 square foot shop will make it hard to keep track of your stuff.
Scale it down to 425 square feet and you'll lose fewer parts.

All kidding aside, you've come to the right place.

Your shop looks great. I hope this build finally inspires me to keep my shop half as nice!
