Unboxing - Cobra 2000 GTL - Tim Trent - Snake Radio Customs Build!

The Legend Has Arrived: Cobra 2000 GTL Unboxing & First Power Up! I’ve been watching Tim Trent at Snake Radio Customs build these masterpieces for years, and today, one finally landed here in Newfoundland. This isn't just any radio—it’s a fully restored and modded 1979 Cobra 2000 GTL (original Taiwan build), and the craftsmanship is absolutely "priceless." Huge thanks to David Brooks from Texas for donating this radio to the cause and making this possible, and to Tim for the incredible gift and the painstaking detail he put into this build. In this video: Unboxing: Checking out the "spidering" packaging to ensure this vintage beauty made the trip safely. First Look: Exploring the custom carbon fiber details and the modified Cobra mic. The Reveal: Powering it up for the first time in Canada to see those signature green "Nitro" lights in action. The Swap: A quick update on the RCI-2995 that will be heading back to Tim for its own custom treatment before going to David. Visit Snake Radio Customs: If you want to see the technical deep-dive and the full review of this specific build, head over to Tim’s channel at Snake Radio Customs. He is top-shelf when it comes to 148s, 2000s, and beyond. Stay tuned for upcoming video gates where we’ll really put the transmit and receive to the test.
