I used to be one of you
I have been re-bitten by the Cobra. Well soon anyway.
I used to be one of you.....I had been out to club cruises and I still have a club shirt. I got my car in 05 and when the economy crashed, it needed to be parked while i found ways to eat. Fast forward, The Cobra went though some engine problems. Added a Shelby GT500 to the fleet. And every time I go to a Shelby event there are the Cobra's. And, hey, I got one so its time to get it back out and play
Now it is getting a new engine built and I hope to come out and hang with you all when your on the west side. Because I live in Wickenburg the Saturday Coffee is probably not going to work.
I started a thread on the FE talk page about the build.

That's the plan. The last time out with it was Wild horse pass, west track. That's when I blew my (hopefully) last head gasket.

Well the block showed up and the work is progressing. A Pond aluminum 427, stroked to a 482. Gone is the economy car 428. I finally will have no guilt putting 427 valve covers on .. It had 428 covers on it and people at cruse in after asking, is it real, then asked why does the fender badge say 427 and the engine say 428?

And now the valve covers will say 427 when it's really a 482. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

It was nice to visit with some of you last night at the 83rd Ave cruise in. Thanks for making my wife and I feel welcome.
Next time we'll bring chairs and not be rushed.

I'm sure Jeff and Bruce would have let you sit on their laps. I will shake your hand in December.

Hey Mikie, That frozen tundra you live in seems to have mixed you up a bit..... no a bunch!!! Back home here in the IT"S A DRY HEAT land men do not sit on other men's lap.
Add a few days to your December trip so we can thaw you out completely. LOL 2bars we welcome you and your pretty wife anytime but throw chairs in your car. I will try to help Mikie but it is a big job.

Big job....... There is a straight line in there somewhere, but I'll leave it for someone else to pick you.
