Congratulations Tom. Boy! I can feel your excitement in your prose. See you at the picnic. Try to avoid downtown Carefree Sat 9am to 11am - parade. Go east to Pima road (Mapquest) then north to Cave Creek Rd.

Thanks, Bob - I'm very excited, but somewhat let down tonight, as the headlights didn't come today. Maybe tomorrow, but then it will be too late to get plates in time for Saturday. Hope to drive it to the Tues. night meeting at 5'n'Diner. I'll bring the Vette to the picnic, it looks like, unless the headlights arrive very early tomorrow. The car's very driveable now, and I have just a small seep at the water neck. Hope I don't have to take it off and re-seal it. Cranked down on the bolts a bit today - maybe that will help. They seemed a tad loose when hot. No major issues, though - clutch, tranny, engine all are great, and then there's that SOUND! Everything seems to work just fine.

Thanks, John - see you at the picnic. No liights today, so won't drive the Cobra. Come on over anytime. She sure runs well - getting a few miles, and still have a little leak (seepage) at the water neck. Maybe I'll drain some out next week and replace the seal.

I bet those drag radials will last longer than you think. Mine are still hanging in there pretty good after a couple thousand miles. I did about 20 passes with burnouts at the drag strip too. Mine don't toss a notable amount of rocks while running 18 psi cold inflation. Then again I just put put around about 95% of the time too.
