Default Picking car up!

Mark,

So this is what one looks like with the wheels and tires on. The spinners were some spare ones that Dennis had available, they will be changed when the car gets home.



Did not have time for a lot of pictures, May take a couple tomorrow after the car is loaded on the trailer. It was a long trip, 12 hour of driving and I am a little exhausted. Spent almost 2 hours talking with Dennis Olthoff, he is a wealth of knowledge and gave me some good ideas. For those of you who do not know, Dennis' father raced an original 289 cobra.

The work soon begins. Will start by tearing things down so that I can get at suspension and frame components and then start rebuilding!

The car looks a little funny right now with how it sits so high, but that is because there is no engine, transmission or differential installed. It will settle down when those items and the fuel cell are in place.

Jim
