  • Time to get started on the exterior of this thing and man what a difference a little elbow grease and some new parts makes! The cobra gets some refinished OEM parts as well as some new headlights and a HUGE aftermarket heat exchanger! Can't wait to see this thing all cleaned up!
    Send me stuff!

      if he keeps at it he will get there or pretty close , problem is there are just soooooo many automotive youtubers out there and many many good ones ... the market is flooded and its hard to be unique and set yourself apart but he makes good no nonsense content. i'm surprised he hasn't started selling merch yet ... i think the problem is he works a real job and the only way to do merch correctly is to get it made and sell/package/distribute it yourself and that takes a lot of time

My goal is to get a 03 cobra. I was in a wreck with my gt In high school. I love these videos. Brings back memories.

    Brother I suffer from OCD and a former wrench myself. That being said, I love how much I learned from you all the time without I'm better than he is or having to compete if that makes sense? I'm sure you get what I'm saying you're doing it for the love of the cars and what you do but you're so spot on when you want to do some stuff just to brighten it up a bit, or give that smoke and mirrors look. Totally get it there's a time and place for absolute perfection and there's a time and place for a little bit of enhancement. Your mechanical work is spot-on and you're never cutting corners. Love the fabrication on things and attention to detail. Love your overall knowledge to what you're working on at the moment. Absolutely love the channel absolutely love the content and love your followers too. Everyone seems very in tune with what you bring to the table. Thanks again for the content and love the lessons LOL

  • @Rustern_Rigs

    Can’t believe how well that car looked after the wash. I’d love to see some chrome 03 cobra wheels on it . I learned a tip years ago watching tons of restoration of interior pieces/dash/door panels . Buy the duplicolor Bediner in the spray can to texture the panel. Then go over it for finish in the sem trim paint . It’s unbelievable how the pieces have that factory fresh plastic texture. Watching you redo the chin spoiler made me think of that .
