Okay, guess it's my turn.
I'm 42 years old and up until a year ago I never considered building a Cobra. My life changed last year when I was diagnosed with a rather nasty genetic lung disease. It seems that I have alread lost the majority of my lung function and I will need a lung transplant down the road. Moral of the story: Life is short. I'm doing this Cobra project on a lark and I'm having a GREAT time. I spend more time reading books than I do turning wrenches because I know so little about cars, but I'm having fun learning. This month marks the end of the first year of the project and so far I have the frame, suspension and body with aluminum trim for my E-M. I hoping to have my car on the road in another two years, but that depends on my finance committe ( wife of 13 years ). I hope to make it to Run and Gun. If I do go I will have to be back on Wednesday to get my weekly medical treatment ( IV drug infusion ) . I'm looking forward to meeting many of you and seeing your cars.
