Building a Gardner Douglas 427 AC Cobra replica classic sports car: New home for Radical and trailer

New home for Radical and trailer

Tearful day today. My fabulous Radical Prosport, Sprint Shuttle trailer and spares have been collected by their new owner. Hopefully he will look after it all and importantly, keep on winning! Go for it Robbie.

Radical going - inside trailer!

The upside is I now have some space in the garage for the Gardner Douglas Cobra replica. Just need the new caravan (collecting it in mid February) to allow me to clear out the rest of the stuff.

How to use this blog

This is a record of my Cobra sports car build. If you want to create a Cobra too, this step by step diary may help you or simply give you some advice on how to go about it.

The blog is not an official GD site and is not endorsed by them, nor does the blog indicate that I endorse the GD product in any way. It is simply a record of what I did.

If you are interested in the build process, then just look at the posts in chronological order. My blog shows the most recent posts first. Look out for the 'Older posts' link at the bottom of any page.

If you are interested in a specific area of the build e.g. brakes, then click on 'Brakes' under 'Build process' and you will just see stuff about the brakes. Do look at the "Things that went wrong" category to see lessons that I learned the hard way during the build. Where possible I have added a note to the relevant post too. Remember that the posts are shown with the newest first.
