A six and one-half year journey in the construction of a Ford Cobra Replica from the restoration and rebuild of a salvaged Ford 400M engine through the receipt and completion of an Everett-Morrison rolling chassis, body, and accessories. The book provides a chronological description of the trials and tribulations of the build and demonstrates the perseverance required to create the "car of dreams" by oneself. The reader can obtain an idea of the effort involved in a replica car construction and gain an appreciation of the help needed from others to complete the task.
