Jesse builds another Cobra #11,061 - First body work shots

[Blitzboy54]

I did a thing

I still have a couple weeks still until I get my inspection ("mom, are we there yet?"), the VIN and can register the car.

Before I pulled the trigger on the second MK4 I was considering all my options. My first thought was to build a GT40. I came pretty close but it's a significant upgrade in budget and I am just not ready for that investment yet. I thought about the coupe but that is not for me. I also came pretty close to building a 35 hotrod pickup. I had put a concept together and a build plan. I dry ran the order and when push came to shove I really wanted another roadster, so the idea was shelved.

As it turns out I have been keeping in touch with the gentlemen that bought my MK4. We have been talking on and off for several months about me building a hotrod pickup for him. Things have accelerated and as of a few days ago a kit and engine has been ordered. He gave me express permission to start a build thread and share the basic details of the arrangement. I am VERY excited for the opportunity and look forward to the prospect of continuing to create new things.

I will start a build thread over there but the basics are an LS based power plant with a TKX and big open wheel concept. If all goes well it will be outrageous.
