In 2005 I purchased my Bulter Cobra on ebay, well I should say a friend won it on my behalf. I never saw the listing but I bought it sight unseen. Wow ... The car of my dreams that I had envisioned was actualy a rolling chassis, with some parts and a shell for a body. The previous owner had shaved all the inner body panels off, with the intension to fabricate all new
inner body componets out off aluminum. Well for what ever reason, that never came to be. This is where I come in. The 1st year i did all my research and planned every modification that I wanted. During which time I happened to find a guy at a high performance swap meet who was selling Butler Cobra parts that I needed to complete this build.The Cobra was deemed ( My dream her nightmare). because I spent many many late nights in the garage. It's 2008 and I just finished the car about 2 months and 800 miles ago. It took me 2 years, about 600 pictures of every step of the way, with the help of a few good friends and a crash course in fiberglass repair. Oh I did my research and a few trial and error tests before I started. Here is a bit of info on her...
