i know about the little things been there done that
watch out for Summit they are worse than slot machine when it comes to takeing your money
things are quiet here got the model a sold ...took the kid for a ride in the Cobra and he about wet himself...got his car in the garage now just painted it satin black and am putting together his 390 to put back in so he can go

back to Calif.
as soon as his car comes out of the garage i will fix the tranny on the Cobra.

Hee hee too much time here at work trying to pay for parts that I don't have time to put on... But actually it's going well! I need to get some photos and post them here! Am having a stroked 351W built by a local machine shop, and am saving my pennies to get the Tremec 5 speed ordered!
Have wheels and tires ordered, will be a while till I see them. Summit is getting half of my paychecks each week, there is alot of little things that you just don't think about till you have the car in front of you! I have probably bought $100 of fasteners so far, so many things don't come with the kit!
Dana has assisted me with a few of SV's screwups, nothing major really (brakelines, ignition, non-matching parts etc), so all in all not too bad!

sorry we didnt get hooked up the day you got your car but i got your message on my way back from the swap meet (sold the model a for 1000 bucks) if i had gotten it sooner then i would have just sent the kid and i would have went with you to get your car, i'm so glad that this has worked out for you with Shell Valley i still think they put out a good product but they still have there issues i should haven't taken 2 mounths for you to get a car and maybe that will change with the new owner........YYYAAAHHHOOOO you are a COBRA owner, do yourself a favor and go over every nut and bolt and make sure things are tight and have fun with this build this is something to remeber for the rest of your life,ENJOY...........
