Bill Emerson\'s (BillE) Shop
During what turned out to be anything but a vacation -- my mother passed away on June, 9 -- I did have a chance to stop by Bill Emerson's shop on the south side of Redding California. While I didn't get to see the body buck as it is being completed at another location, I can tell you that the chassis Bill is building are pretty awesome looking. If you are or you know a big guy who would like a super performance car that you can feel comfortable in, these sure look like the answer for you. The big Ford modular motors mated to the RBT transaxles sure look the part also! If the the one complete Cobra and the other Cobra chassis I saw are any indication, Bill builds some butt kicking stuff.
Don't let Bill's writing style fool you, this guy knows how to build a car. Maybe someday he'll share with us here some of the records and accolades his Cobras have garnered. He also has some well known name contributing to and participating to his efforts like Lloyd Butfoy and Sean Hyland.
If you are ever traveling north on I-5 from Sacramento, I would highly recommend stopping in to see Bill. While my time was limited by my need to pick up my two sons in Sacramento and getting them up to see their grandmother who was failing fast at the time, Bill was a very gracious host and just a heck of nice guy. Thank you, Bill!
Regards,
Lynn
