Thumbs up FFR Cobra _rebuild_ in record time!!!

Two friends of mine managed to pull this off...
John manages to get bumped off in FFR Cobra Series-East. Goes off at about 80mph and into a tirewall.

During:

What new looks like:
Its hard to depict just how much internal damage there was. The first 2 feet of the car had to be torched off and rebuilt! One thing that wasnt redone (noticed too late), was the motor bent the frame forward that now has 3/4" _forward_ engine "setback", from the impact.



...and in only 9 days, John drives to Massachusettes to trailer all the parts home. Then Darren gets a whole new body, steering, front member, control arms, shocks, radiator... Welding while waiting for the primer to cure... ends up pulling it onto the trailer looking like this.


All the work was done in the evenings (not missing any days from Ford), and they left for the FFR Cobra Nationals at Sears Point at 5:01pm tuesday. (Detroit to California in 48 hours, for this friday).

GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!
