shake down ride
Took the Cobra out for about an hour and a half. 40 to 50 miles or so.
I had to get gas and people came over and asked questions and took pictures with their phones. It is pretty cool. Before I went I changed the front springs but maybe I should make that another post. I have a hesitation in the carb acelerator pump but very little else to realy complain about. I will go over every nut and bolt before next time. |
Hey biggs,
Cool. It really is a blast to drive these cars. Say hey if you run into me at a car show or cruise night, I'll keep an eye out too. Great build pictures in your photo album. Best, BC |
nice, get used to the gas station social hour, funny the questions people ask and the comments they make. i like to make the drive to hillsdale and across the dam to 68 then back east. need any help let me know regarding tuning or scaling the car, i can shade tree with the best of them. i'm down the road in paola btw. you plan on doing any track time?
|
I don't think I will do much track stuff but I may try a little out of curiosity. I ran my 99 Mustang Cobra at Hallett a few times. I may drive down to Paola Saturday for some business and I think I will drive it. First longer trip and see how it goes.
I have a hesitation in the carb, accel pump I suspect. It's a 4150 Holley. |
pm sent.
the club is going to hit some of the cruises sat. evening, i'm sure they'd be happy to have you join in. 4:00 PM - If you are still up for some driving after that, we are going to hit a number of cruise nights again this weekend. Last weekend was a blast, and the reaction of folks when a dozen or so Cobras rolled into a cruise night was priceless. This weekend we will meet at 4:00 pm at the Quick Trip off of 435 & Roe (north of 435, west of Roe). From there we will attend the cruise night at Winsteads at 103rd & Metcalf, then onto the Merriam cruise night (5470 Merriam Dr), and ending at the huge cruise night in North Kansas City (18th & Fayette St). |
Oh man, I am not that brave yet. I have no night time drives yet. I have only been to Gardner and Hillsdale. Relatively safe not too far destinations.
|
Biggs congratulations on getting it on the road (notice I did not say finishing it, they never are)!
What color of red did you pick? Looks good! |
The color is Ford "Vibrant Red". It is the color of Ford's 1993 Mustang Cobra which I have one. Both cars match each other.
I am going to post some more pics especially the one with the licence plate on the rear! |
