  • Per viewers request I shot a video with a soft top for our Shelby Cobra replica from Factory Five. In this video:
    - I introduce you to a bear
    - I lose a screw
    - I sweared only once.
    Enjoy!
    00:00 - introduction
    05:50 - soft top
    07:21 - beginning of installation
    26:45 - side windows
    29:00 - removal

    I've said this before, but this is one of the nicest looking Cobras I've ever seen, and I've seen literally thousands over the past 20 years. If I ever build another one , it will look very much like yours.

    Thank you for all the videos. The build, the cost breakdown, and sharing everything. The paint job is amazing (inspired by the Ukrainian Flag?). Slava Ukraini!

      Thank you! Yes, Ukrainian colors were an inspiration as well! Geroyam slava!

    I’ve watched your build with interest and you’ve made a stunning car, and for 60k I think it’s a bargain. However, as a Land Rover Defender owner, I’ve watched or heard you discuss some things with amusement (hot foot box and trans tunnel being a classic). But as a Brit who’s experienced these classic cars over many years, my advice for spring/autumn use, (rather than having a hood), is to have removal carpet sets, waterproof seat covers, and then wear a sturdy waxed jacket and leather fighter pilot’s helmet with goggles. Sorted. And you’ll look much much cooler.

      you are welcome! there are some hard tops that look half-decent, but overall I tend to agree that it's rather a waste of money

    I wonder if a strip of a clear wrap material installed to the area around the lift a dots to prevent scratches.

    • @alexmak1
      @alexmak1  Рік тому +1

      I was thinking about it as I was struggling with the top. the answer is "yes", it would help, but it needs to be installed along with liftadots because installing it later will be a massive PITA

  • @kevinwells768

    If you flip the sun visor brackets the other way up you should be able to fit the soft top with out removing the sun visors.

    An idea to reduce the scratching from the attachment snaps. Is find some small felt disc pads for furniture. And have them rest in between the stem and the cover buttons.

    • @alexmak1
      @alexmak1  Рік тому

      has to be real thin pad though, otherwise the step won't snap in place

    Before you took off top I wanted to see how you got in and out. I've ridden in a Cobra kit with no top and that was difficult. Just wanted to see process of ingress/ egress.

    • @alexmak1
      @alexmak1  Рік тому +1

      well, I can say that I don't an issue of getting in and out of a cobra without a top off, but with the top on it's a lot more difficult.

      @@benjaminrodriguez9968 No, it's not a spray can, it's the process similar to powder coating, but somewhat different. but I know some people paint it with VHT paint (just google it)
      I'm regularly at Main Line C&C, and some events in the vicinity. this next month is going to be crazy, so not sure I'll have a lot of time for events.

    О...
    Гарне вбрання, брате!
    Гарна футболка!
    Гарне авто!
    Гарні кольори авто! Я навіть не відразу зрозумів. Це випадково так вийшло у жовто-блакитних кольорах? Чи це ти спеціально так зробив?
    Мабуть гарний чоловік!
    Слава Україні, брате!
    Ти звідки? Де саме мешкав в Україні?
    І друге питання, по суті: ти не знаєш версії м'ягкого даху на Кобру який би зручніше роскладався і залишався на машині коли складений. Щоб не треба було таке довге "танго" навколо даху танцювати?
