Tom: Welcome to the looney bin ! I can't imagine a more traumatic introduction to Cobra's than yours !! I also can't imagine how you waited so long to do something about it !
The Cobra Gods are smiling on you for sure, first the ride with THE Cobra guy (IMHO), and then a Cobra drops in your lap!, and then you find this site, which will prove to be your greatest source of help in the coming months ! Sounds like a trifecta to me!
Looks like you've got the garage/shop for the project also !
Good Luck with it, we're here to help !
