Wow, it is really refreshing all you people I haven't met in person, or at all, can be so concern about my safety... feels really good. I need to remember to tell my wife that all these hours I "spend talking to strangers" are more important than she thinks. Having said all that sentimental s^&%:
Hotfingrs and PeteF:
There are two threads exposed. However, my mechanic and I thought it is perfectly safe. Like Nick said, The spinners are, indeed, steel. I give a lot of business to my mechanic, and quite frankly, we have become good friends. I don't think he would expose me to any danger (although he does want to take me to the drag strip ASAP).
Rodney,
I fuss about fussing
Maybe it's because I am a newbie and it is my first hobby car... I spend HOURS, and I mean HOURS, just staring at it. As you can see, the car lives in a storage facility (long story, but we are building a house and I have no garage). It is cramped and hot in that storage unit, without power and/or water. Yet, I spend hours to end "working" on it. I like it so much and want it to be perfect!! I am sure one or two of y'all feel the same way
The car is 6 months old (since delivery) and it has 1100 miles, and considering my schedule, I'd say I 've driven it every time I get a chance. I love to make all that noise around town
CSX3183 and Hotfingrs, I appreciate your kind words. All Cobras are handsome!
Rick:
I'm SOL on the balls.
Nick, CSX3183, A98Coupe:
I'm going ball-less
You guys helped me decide. It is the look I was drawn to from the beginning. Thanks!
PDUB, thanks for the idea!
Cheers All!!
