my gosh dude thats always been a fear of mine to put all the time and hard work into making a car just right to where its exactly how i want it, then having my garage burn down and insurance not do a damned thing about it. i give that guy all the respect in the world that was a insane Cobra that you can tell he was a ford guy and put all his time and effort into it.

but like he said important thing is no one was hurt. and like he also said, he can learn from the 95 on his 94. i didnt read the whole thread but what i did read, man i feel bad for that guy. but he kept his head up and just tackled a new project. i dont think i could keep enough composure to look at the bright side if that happened to me lol..

Yah, I spent about 3 hours reading that when I first saw it.. That guy really is amazing. Never seen so much attention to detail and a guy that literally can do it all lol...

I've never seen anyone really do anything about body work in a build (online At least) and this guy. Just prime and fill and sand and repeat like 20 times. I will be keeping a close tab on that build, for damn sure

I must say I'm jealous and i do agree with you that is one of or more likely the best build project I have ever read. I'm just glad I started reading it 2 years after it started lol...

I hear that. once you put it all the hours into your car it really becomes a part of you and if something ever happens it's like losing a loved one. I restored a 65 Comet Cyclone and working on a frame off resto on a 57 t-Bird. If anything ever happened to either of those cars it would be absolutely devastating.
