Building a Gardner Douglas 427 AC Cobra replica classic sports car: First run out of 2018

Sunday, March 25, 2018

First run out of 2018

Bolted in the seats after fitting the heat pads. Then started her up. Just love the sound of that V8.

To Ilkley, then Bolton Abbey, up to the Strid, over to the outskirts of Skipton, down to Addingham, into Ilkley over the Moors to home. Then topped up with Super Unleaded - the car, not me! Lovely day and great weather.

Good to get out again.

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.

Should you want to see other people's builds, suppliers or other elements please just click on the appropriate link provided below.
