She's back from the flames!! It's been a long road since July. I would have loved to do the rebuild myself (motor not body..and we'd be driving electric cars by the time I finished) but, I wasn't letting anyone re-build the house that we had just finished ourselves. So my wife and I concentrated on the house and with some good tips found two great shops to handle the Cobra project. Larry and Ron at Rhodes did a fantastic job with the paint and body work!!!! Also the painting of the blower and other engine parts and FLSFC. And Matt at Performance Evolution did a flawless job with the motor and tuning. He even cleaned the motor further when apart to get the hard to reach soot. He also painted some more parts that he removed. I don't have any new #'s yet but the Stieg V feels plenty strong. April 25th Cecil Co.!! If you're in the Delaware area I highly recommend these two shops! They really helped a bad situation seem like it never happened!
I haven't been this happy with the car since the day I bought it!

After browsing back through your original thread, I am SO happy for you. Your Cobra looks gorgeous. Too bad, though, that your Fox didn't make it. Enjoy your resurrected Terminator. I wish you and your wife the very best. :thumbsup:

I can't tell much about the body paint from the one picture, but they sure went the extra mile with the engine bay.

Looks Great! :thumbsup:
