I spent more than 1000 hours on mine. At least half of that was me staring at the parts figuring out what to actually DO. 🤔

Great video! I have a very similar build to you with a 347 from BPE, power steering, RT drop trunk etc. Just installed the body this week after finishing the cockpit and go karting. I agree about the drilling and riveting. That takes quite a bit of time but was very therapeutic to me.

Great work guy's, here in the UK i live near a company called DJ Sports Cars ( most people know them DAX ) and would often see some of the cars parked outside the building and have always loved the Cobra.

The fact that you built it with your son is PURE GOLD, Congratulations!

You hugging your son after the first start is so wholesome

I really enjoy your Cobra videos!

It doesn't take too long if you have all the parts in your garage, I built mine from design in clay, then in fiberglass, the seats, the chassis, the panels, the suspension, and it takes us more than a year, and even we didn't finish yet. but would be funny when you have all the parts in your garage ;)

I love that you did this with your son and just as much that your neighbors came out to congratulate hahah Do they still love it ;)?

NICE! Wonderful dad/ son moment that will live with you forever.

Very helpful, thanks! I had previously been wondering if I needed to know welding or machining first, but your video cleared all this up. 🙂

I've literally watched this video of your build many times. I'm planning to get a kit also. No son, will be single person build. Help will be on hand when needed..can't wait. I will record all my time and maybe make video of the build. Good job on yours.

Thank you for your series. This will help me with my build

The dad is so excited and I can relate, can’t wipe that smile off his face. Congrats I know this has been done a while back. But great job. It’s not about the car it’s about the time you did it with your son!!! Great job y’all

Looks great. Awesome job!

I wouldn’t care about the speed too much, I would just care about the fact that I had a cobra 😏

Thank you! Your feedback was very helpful!

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Alex, thank you for sharing your knowledge and sense of humour. I am already planning my own build and father-son Cobra project and you have provided some inspiration. The car looks fantastic!

Oh the blue print engine comes with the transmission attached? That's nice

Congratulations! The journey of building it with your son is priceless.

Круто! Спасибо огромное за такой контент, я не представляю как подписался на вас еще в твиттере в первую очередь, вас всегда интересно читать там, хотя я и не со всеми доводами в пользу Apple согласен, но когда я начал смотреть эти видео и следить за постройкой кобры(с самого начала), то ждал и жду каждого ролика с нетерпением, тем более, что примерно представляю сколько сил тратиться на создание самих роликов. Я очень надеюсь, что спустя какое-то время и на этом канале будут тысячи и десятки тысяч просмотров. Спасибо!

Brilliant video Alex!...well done...i might have to reach out to you for a Q or two as I'm about to start my build this week :)

I cannot wait to build one of these. 3 years away I think.

very informative. Thank you.

I am thinking about a ff 65 coupe, and found your video very informative and interesting. Must have been the high water make having and son and constructing something together, clearly the memory’s will last a lifetime

Alex: Thank you for taking time to post this video. I am about 1/2 way finished with a Daytona Coupe; I have a go-kart. Next task is to install the body. I agree that the FF manual is a good starting point, but there are a lot of things that are left to the builder to figure out. Lots of frustrations, but lots of good memories of working with friends to get this project to the finish line. After a 4 month winter break with no work being performed on the project, I'll look forward to starting the body work come April 24. My target finish date is July '24.

That was really useful, thanks! And sobering!

hope some day i can do the same with my boys !!! Thanks for your videos my friend

Wow, what a great video!

Nice - you had neighborhood support!!!

What a wonderful thing to do with your family, including your wife! She is an exceptional lady for not only suggesting that you build your Cobra, but for supporting you and your son throughout the build. So is the Daytona Coupe for your son, Alex Jr.? I also watched your cost to build video. I thought it was going run $52-$55k.....oops. Finally, the car looks and sounds great, and it's refreshing to hear that both you and your son can actually shift a manual transmission. That's a skill that eludes the vast majority of US drivers. 😉👌😊

Love the video bud. The pie chart was the cherry!

Great video, Thanks Alex !! Congrats on the build! The milestone from delivery to first start was encouraging. So 3 months. That is awesome !!! BTW did you outsource the body work? Coz Im planning my build right now and the plan includes outsourcing the paint job. Icould never make it look as good as a pro.

Hi what engine and transmission package did you get?

I love the way the neighbor comes over

The pie-chart @ 12:35 is very helpful break down of time 🤣

Thanks alex

There is nothing more affluent than the suggestion for a family project being a Cobra kit car build and sounding like it's reasonable and no big deal.

Great job. I am also ordering an Factory Five kit this summer of 2024. I also live in PA. Getting a VIN and Title for you was not very hard? Thank you Ron USCG RET

I also live in PA and am considering a similar build. Did you have any registration issues with the DMV?

Hi Alex did you install a reverse light?

Hi Alex did you install a front sway bar?

Father son project... This country could use alot more of that😇

コブラ最高です♪

Did he say 9 months & a half??

Interesting. May I ask you what you do for a living?

Can someone please organize a Gumball Rallye in the U.S for the US only at a reasonable price?

It should take around 300 hours to assemble the kit assuming all parts are servicable.

nice car , well done . is body aluminium ?

Does that mean around 1400 man hours if you did it by yourself or does this mean around 6-7 hundred man hours if you did it by yourself? In a rush aka

That’s awesome you got to do this with your son

Алекс здравствуйте! Как с вами можно связаться ? Мне нужна ваша помощь и может быть вас заинтересует наша разработка

Remember be from snap-on tools

Yep that's why I don't like HOA's .

Почему на английском?

Here in August 2021...the comment about driving on public roads before completion and it being illegal struck me as kind of funny. Our Democrat politicians have literally completely disregarded all laws for the last 18 - 24 months, even the SCOTUS has completely disregarded the law. Therefore, The Law(tm) should no longer be a consideration in anything we do. Do what you want. Nice build guys! The car is awesome. I look forward to the 80% AR build videos!

Well done, great video and great story thanks for all the info.
