Bill,
Congratulations!!! It has been a long time coming. So great to see the car running. Sounds nice. The exhaust was a little close to the hump in the driveway, but it made it. You must be sooo happy.
It is so nice to see you get to this point.
Jim

Bill,
Congratulations, it has been a long time coming. The car sounds great and all of that frustration and hard work are really paying off. When I get mine back running I will come over and visit.

No worries - once you are done and on the road with it you will understand why
we do this to ourselves. The fun begins shortly!

No sense in leading someone on with a false sense of optimism. I mean, are these things ever really done?

You are correct - there is always room for improvement or something needs
fixing. I was referring to his getting it completed enough to get it inspected,
insured, and on the road - now that is a good beginning! LOL

Great stuff Bill!
The dog looks like he's thinking "What? Bill's Cobra? I don't believe it!"
Cheers,

Bill,
Do you have a date for the finishing of the body yet? That first drive is always a great thrill and I am really happy that you finally got it to this point. Sorry that I haven't been in contact with you but the last three months have been a mess for me and I feel as if I have been going in circles. And I did post over on our site that you had taken the first drive but not the video as I wasn't sure if you wanted it there or not.
