New owner questions
I have been following this site for some time now and have even attended the Austin spring events the last two years. I finally have a Cobra so I can now ask questions. I ended up with a Hi-Tech aluminum 427 Cobra (the 3002 replica).
I really need to clean the chassis and wheel wells over the weekend and am wondering if it is possible to lift each side of the car. I would like to pull the right wheels and work on that side and do the same for the left. The frame rails seem so far inboard that I am hesitant to put a jack under them. Is it best to lift the front and then the rear to work on the bottom side of the car?
I don't have a lift.
Also, the car has two electric cooling fans in front of the radiator.
These fans are set up to pull air forward from the radiator.
It seems like a conflict when the air is coming in from the grill at speed. Should these front mounted fans be set up to push air or pull air?
I am sorry if these questions sound stupid, I have had many cars, this is my first Cobra of any type. This car is sure intimidating, I'm bit scared of it.
Thanks
