Default Just checking in...

What's up Az Cobra gang?

Just checking in to say hi. Several of you have emailed/PM'd me offline asking how things are going, so thought I'd drop a quick note.

Firstly- Patti's heart condition has stabilized with medication, so no immediate surgery plans (relief). She will be on this prescription regimen for the rest of her life, but the Dr says she is ok to play the trumpet...

Car-wise, yeah, I miss my Cobra a lot, but I'm forcing myself to use what little spare time I have to finish the other 4 (or is it 5?) car projects I have stacked up in my backyard before any more toy-cars roll into the garage. I hit on a barn-find 54 Chevy 3100 shortbed with the bigger 261 engine earlier this year, so guess where that ended up? Yup- in my backyard, waiting it's turn under the wrench, but the body is flawless, the Patina is perfect, and the combination of short bed, with the larger engine is the rarest of the rare in these old pickups... It had been sitting under a pile of pack-rat nests stacked on top of pack-rat nests, beneath an old palo-verde tree out in the desert, since 1984.

So many projects, so little time... If things go as I intend, there will be space another Cobra in the garage in the next year or so. I've already built the next Cobra my head about 10 times now.

I'll be checking in with you guys this fall/winter as the weekend car show weather starts rolling in. My big, gas-sucking 71 Blazer is just about ready to start showing off, and I finally have one of my 3 Nissan Patrols just about ready for paint, so I'm hoping to have the body back on the frame of that bad-boy sometime in the next few months.

so many projects, so little time...

Your ears should have been ringing Rob, we were just thinking about you yesterday here in the NW. Glad to hear Patti's doing fine now. I think a Cobra should be back in your garage sooner, rather then later buddy. Cheers Tom.

Robert, good to hear you are still chugging along and VERY GOOD to hear that your sweetness is doing well. We miss your smiling face and wealth of knowledge.
You know, you are welcome to hang with us anytime you want. Someone will always have an empty seat if you want to ride along on a cruise.... I'm going to be taking a nice little jaunt, theoretically, 09/07 and should be home within a couple weeks thereafter. Wanna go along?
