Well here is a Cobra up-date!
The motor is still in pieces after the push rod broke, then the intake valve push rod bent. I am glad that the car is not running because it is to darn HOT
to drive!! You see this is my first summer having the Cobra, and I had visions of driving every day, thinking that the heat's not that bad, boy was I off base. I decided to do the little things that make a car. I finished off the trunk with carpet, and painted over the overspray from when I did the paint. I also put screen in the
oil cooler vent in the front of the car, hopefully it will save on rock damage? I also got an itch, speaking of rocks, and repainted the front of the car from the damage from Route 66. (The stickers were getting old) I had to custome order the push rods for the geometry of the valve train, and it will be several weeks before Crane can deliver. So it looks like I am going to put the Aluminum shroud in the nose while it sits there. Hopefully I will get a chance to drive her again in the middle of August, when it cools down!
To all those gear heads stuck in the garage!
