Ron,

I saw your car and Charlie is determine to get it right. I really think ( Hot Rods by Dean ) wants you on the road just as bad. It's coming together. Take a breath, you are almost there. I think you will be really happy with the out come. That's a good shop.

Well the long road is almost over. Charlie called today and my car is ready to be picked up tomorrow. I am looking forward to getting back in it after almost 5 1/2 months. if nothing else I am 50 pounds lighter so I will fit better in it than I did the last time I drove it. I will post results when I get home with it tomorrow. Thanks to all those who put up with my ramblings during this period of being cobra-less and many thanks to Charlie and Hot Rods by Dean that helped get my car back together and had to deal with Roush to get it done.

Well my car is finally home tucked back in my garage. Many thanks to Hot Rods by Dean and Charlie for putting up with me through this. It was almost like learning to drive the car all over again on the way home. First impressions are that the Avons I had put on while it was in there are waaaay stickier than the BFG's. Car runs good although a bit of hesitation between 2nd and 3rd when giving it throttle. Charlie thinks it may be the fuel pick up in the gas tank but i want to put some miles on the car first to see if it goes away.

Sandy and Tim, I promise (or al least try) to not monopoloze Charlies time for a while so hopefully your ars will be in and out faster than mine.

On another note, they had an awesome tudor style car in their shop with a original boss 429 with an 8:71 blower cranking out about 1100 HP. I cant wait to hear that car coming down the street.

Congratulations. I'm glad that your ordeal is over.

Ron,

Glad to hear you are back on the road. I'm sure there will be a few bugs, there always are. I'm still chasing the bugs too a bit. Mine will be home tomorrow or Friday. I had the new urethane motor mounts put on and a small oil pan gasket leak fixed while he was under there. Sandy then Charlie is all yours I hope. Weather is getting nice... See you out there.
