Yeah, truth is it has been in customs impound for awhile. We hear there is a big hill on their lot and they have been racing fork lifts.

Hey, Sid,
The motor looks great and the car is finally here! DUUUUUDE! Looking forward to seeing the finished product this summer! Lowell |
SUMMER??? I'll be bugging Reg to get a date of arrival here in ChiTown. I'm hoping it will be here in my garage around the 20th of May. Get motor in that weekend and then take it to an indian wedding Memorial Day weekend!!! That my goal!!!
Is it normal to lose sleep while waiting for your cobra? I'm restless...And I tend to just ramble on and on about cobras to complete strangers...Dr. Willis any advice or drugs? Sid :JEKYLHYDE :CRY: :CRY: :JEKYLHYDE |
I guess there was a mix up. My cobra I guess hit state side on the 7th. And now is going through customs...Really sucks since I got a spot ready at Volo Auto Museum-Shelby Show. Now its "I hope to get it done before London!" This last weekend was killer...:(

THIS IS SLOWLY KILLING ME! Now I know how you guys feel! The wait is making everyday go by slower and slower. Its in Freakin FL! Craig has been working on getting a transporter since last Thursday!!! So do you guys think I get get this car finished before the London Show? That was the original plan...
Sid :( |
Sid,
I feel your pain, brother. I think you can still make it for the London show, but what do I know? I stabbed mine on 4/25 and I'm just finishing everything up this weekend! I only worked one day each weekend and none at all during the week. If you get after it, you can still make it. We're rooting for you. Link |
THANKS MAN!!! Game plan is get the cobra on the 18th,get the motor in and fired! Test and tune on Sunday the 19th. 20th get it registered and insured. Break in the motor and car 20-22nd. Hit the road for London on the 23rd! "Get'er done!"
