Here is the latest update. I had my body shop owner friend come over and we came up with an estimate to submit to State Farm. State Farm had sent a claim assignment to a shop close to me, but after I informed them of what the Cobra was and what was involved, they refused to accept the claim.

Re: Bad Day on I-295
Here’s a little humor to go with my bad day.
After being informed of the no insurance issue I decided to call the Duval Sheriffs Dept to inform them of the false paperwork on the at fault driver.
The Sheriffs dept said that sense the accident was on the interstate it was under the highway patrol ...

Re: Bad Day on I-295
All good advice the difference is I don’t want a shop to do the repairs. So as this is outside of the norm it’s a tap dance to align all the pieces so both the insurance co and I agree the repair price is fair.

Re: Bad Day on I-295
The Cobra just got more complicated. Seems the offending driver had no insurance after all, policy was cancelled.
So now I’m dealing with State Farm. And like most thing’s now days the human element is being removed. The want to do it by me sending them pictures of the damage. That might work for ...

Re: Bad Day on I-295
When I upgraded my differential I called for some advice on the carrier frame Dana 35 to 44. At that time he said he was building again.
When I called this week while he said he still has the molds and didn’t say he wasn’t building I had a feeling that he might has stopped again.
Anyway here it ...

Re: Bad Day on I-295
When I built the Cobra I bought Vintage knock off wheel kit. As I recall all 4 was around $2600 in 2010 or so. Including the lug drive pins spindles and knock offs.
The replacement wheel now is $980.00 plus 40 shipping.

Re: Bad Day on I-295
Thanks for the referral, I have already reached out to Randy Hunter in Ocala. He is the supplier who built the basic kit. He still has the molds and will make me a section from the middle of both fenders forward.

Re: Bad Day on I-295
Tnx Tom. My gut feeling is that he was. He is Hispanic and hurt his hands, most likely from holding a phone. I don’t have the detail police report and I guess it really doesn’t matter.

Bad Day on I-295
On my way to by brothers place in Fernandina I saw that traffic was slowing down. So, I gave the o'l raise the arm and wave to all to show I was slowing down.
As we were almost stopped, I heard the crunch of sheet metal, then I felt the impact in my car on the left rear. This spun me 90 degrees ...
