Well here’s an update on my build. Since COVID kept me home and away from work, I utilized the time to work on my car. These last 9 months went by slow but in build time, things just flew together. Once the body was off, the brake and gas lines went in. That was followed by the motor/trans, driveshaft, safety hoop and finally a test run of the engine. Body went on, electrical ran and tested, interior.....all in a blink of an eye. On 12-12-20, I took the car out for its first shake down....and other than little adjustments to alignment, clutch and headlights....she ran beautifully. Still unpainted and will probably stay that way until spring. Waiting for a couple of things from Finishline and Cobra Restorers (apparently quick shipping and customer service are not their best attributes. Been waiting since 12-01 for parts). In the mean time State Farm insurance gave me a great deal for full coverage so I can begin the registration process here on January 4.

Thanks to all those that provided assistance either thru answering my questions or from your prior posts.
