Looks great Jeff !!! If everyone that built a Kit-Car put as much time and effort into their Kits as you do, Then the Kit-Car market would be on fire !!! People use to take pride in their work but everyone just wants something for nothing these days.

This goes to show that no matter how bad a kit is the finished project is only limited by your imagination. Most people think they can buy a project and finish it in a week and have a new car. but the reality is if you want it done right the first time take it down to the bones and build it up strong to last and when you finish it will be something worth keeping.. The main reason the Bradley gt2 has lost it's flavor is because people aren't building them with pride like people that have other kit makes!!! I've heard of people putting 5 to 10 grand into a kit and then you could buy the thing for $500 a year later because they didn't finish the masterpiece. Take for instance The 2 that were custom with the tilts what happened they just give up? Then look at this car and Dans gt2 both are good cars now because someone took the time to build something. Money has ruined a lot of people I can remember when something didn't work we got our hands dirty with some cuts and bruises and fixed the problem and learned in the process nowadays people just want to pay someone else to do it because they don't have the time or patience for anything. If people would slow down and start doing things for themselves they would find out they could save a ton of money and they would also find out that the project will actually relieve a lot of stress and bring a family closer together if it is a family project!!!

Alleycat check your e-mail Bob if the car doesn't sell soon I'll take you up on the offer trying to get shed of it though and I know how many people hear are always saying they need a windshield and gas tank plus the chassis is rebuildable someone would just have to research the title because I got it from a man running a junk yard and I lost the bill of sale he provived to me but it was last registered in Alabama so Title would be exempt now anyways and I will Type up a bill of sale for it.

I was wandering how much a good used windshield for a Bradley Gt II is worth?? How much the front light assemblies are worth?? How much the tail lights are worth?? How much a good dash pad is worth?? How much the 2 seats are worth will need recovering ?? How much the fuel tank is worth?? How much a deck lid and gas cover are worth??

I've heard of people getting the case welded this might be an option for you if you can find someone who does this type of work anymore.

That is a special once a year edition for the many company's that sell cobra's. If somesomething is selling wouldn't you want that action along with every thing else !!! I agree I liked the kit magazines that had pictures of all the old kits in it but these kits have done had their time in the spotlight so to speak!!!

Congratulations on the purchase have fun and don't let things burn you out on it. Remember everyone works at their own pace and the car is of no exception !!! There's a lot of useful info here to read from but don't be afraid to ask questions. The only stupid question is the one not asked !!!

put cross braces on the legs of yo mule before she does the split and double up the 2x that spans the car the rest should be ok I've built houses all my life and know that the saw horse is stronger than it looks and i've also learned looks can be deceiving !!!! I can pick up the gt2 body from the side and roll it over by myself so it shouldn't be too awful heavy I have seen people work with just 2 saw horses 1 under the hood and 1 under the trunk !!!

The backing plates in my oponion are too small and mine are made of regular steel. It would be nice if you could do a one piece backing plate made of stainless steel to cover both hinges. Its the same with the rear window, I have seen a few that cracked the fiberglass at these hinge points from to narrow of a stress point.
