Feb. 17, 2002 Update. No it's not done yet!!! Why because on December 16, the house and shop were flooded, fortunately the Cobra was up on jack stands in the process of wet sanding the primer when the flood struck. I have been working double time on repairing the house and shop. All of the repairs are just about done so I can go back to finishing up the snake. It yells at me everytime I walk by it, Finish Me, Finish Me. It won't be long now.

I have had a blast building the car. Many thanks to Steve, Brian, Dennis and the rest of the gang at Lone Star, they are awesome. I am going to play with the car for a little while, show it a few times and sell it, so I can build another.
