Hershal,

That looks great-- Great idea--

I don't want to be an alarmist but-- Looking at the picture-- When the chassis is rotated so that it is at 90% from its natural position-- it looks a little precarious-- Would there be any merit in adding some 2 foot "outriggers" to the stands--

You could easily take a 4-6 foot piece of steel tubing and insert it through each back tube in the widest part of the engine stand (the tube where the wheels attach) and 2 bolts will hold it in place--
-- the only issue is a possible trip hazzard-- but -- I think a good precaution--

then if the whole thing decides to tip- over -- the outrigger will save the day- the chassis and possibly your butt--

Just a thought--from a concerned Cobra owner--

I definitely am anxious to visit and have a real look see--

Will be back in town for the winter in about 3 weeks--

PS-- My car is now in primer and is "backing out" in the sun for about 2 weeks--Looks awesome! It happens to be in Mesa--

Jim
