Upgrade Time
Well, after 6 years with 181 Lorrie and I traded her in on 930. She is currently at Tangible Toys having Wayne do some of the drive line install. FMS 427 crate motor and a T-56 6 speed trans. You can't beat Wayne's attention to detail. I'm getting a bit ansy to drive as Cobra weather is here in Florida. I also missed the Reptile Roundup for the first time. I've been to every one. Even the rainy one at the Beef O Bradys.:)
You can see 181 in the background here.

I think the extra weight of the T-56 will even things out....
Going over the Wayne's shop in the morning to install the gauges. I opted to not get the BDR gauges. Ordered a set of the Revolution Gauges instead.

Congrats and enjoy it! I love the meatball and team stripes; I'll probably do those on my next one!

Jim,
I don't recall hearing of anyone trading up for an upgraded Cobra replica. I like it. I hope they get it finished soon. Enjoy.

SCHWEET. Look forward to getting out with you guys again. You missed a solid RoundUp, it wasn't the same without you though. I did hear you made an appearance at the cruise destination with the M car.
I'm down for a while, starting the teardown for the new ride.

Beautimus, an absolutely perfect day for it. Glad you're back on the road. Any thoughts on comparisons, between old and new?
