Boss JBL At Home, Finally

[jmarsey]

After 2.5 years of Fridays & Saturdays the bossjbl is finally home for body work. I took it for a little
test spin around 8:30 am. It runs great and is a real handfull. My goal now is to complete the car in
rough fasion by March and then take it to Thunder Hill or Sears, for sorting out and a good general
thrashing, before paint and other finish work .

Leaving the shop. The Big morning. My stomach was in a knot.



Home, finally.



Not one but two go karts.



View from my office. I think I'll just take the door off permamently.

John,

Sweet.

After all this time and travail, it must feel good to have her home.

But, I do recommend that you leave the door on the office.

You still have to make money to pay for things after all.

And I have found that if I leave my toys visible from my office, that my income drops directly in relation to proximity of the toy to my office.

Unfortunately, I have a really big picture window (12 feet wide and 6 feet high.) that I look out of every day.

Therefore, I only keep things that I have to do outside of my window. (Actually, the wife puts out the bits for my viewing pleasure.)

Now, what do you mean it is a real handful?

It has to behave better than the shifter cart!!!!!

Maybe you just need to get some tire temp in that thing.

Richard,

Not really a handful. I think I was just so excited to drive it and the damn thing really is so nasty. I'll be fine once I get a little seat time, should be around March / April.

Ok, good thinking. I'll leave the door on.

Even in "primered spot" paint motif and sans hood...that is one bad ride.

Congrats and keep the pics coming.

That is one bad ass looking Cobra.
Good luck at the track but with that Go kart you have there I see a little advantage over those without the karting experience.

Do we have any East Coast owners of the JBL?

That is a fantastic car! The JBL is really something special!

Hi John,
Congratulations. Like fine wine..., right? Looks cool. Enjoy!

Awsome! It's a great feeling knowing she's under your lock & key! Can't wait to see it in paint!

Wait a minute.

That is the offical, as delivered, paint job for a JBL.

That way no one cares about the odd rock ding or track rash.

It also saves a lot of time as there is no need to wax or polish.

The lack of hood and decklid is an unfair aero modification.

JBL only permits these modifications to bikinis.

I'll be out in the garage tonight, spraying primer over my Lister's paint job and yanking the hood off of my JCF.
