Conley cobra project

Post by Mike Casey »

This has been a special project on my plate for some time now. Finally got something done on it. Just finished doing a bunch of body work, primered, and made a roll bar. Getting a bit better with my tig welder, but still takes me a bunch of time to do anything!

believe me, I definately appreciate this car. It is amazing having it in my home. :shock: It has made me a believer... :D

I just ordered some goodies today for it. If they work out, it should be a VERY nice touch and hopefully a cool tip for others to use. More to come when they show up.... :wink:
