(Interior, lights, phase III of the wiring, etc.)

DV,

Thanks for the info. I am still going through 'the pile' to see what is there (as far as I can tell). Since I do not have a listing of what parts came in each phase, I am not sure what should be there.

I know there is no wiring harness, gas tank (straps are there), gauges, or windshield frame/glass but as far as interior items there are seats, headrests, carpeting, insulation, steering wheel, etc. - so at least some of the interior is there (not sure if any of this would be in phase III you mentioned).

Besides the missing pieces, the main disappointment so far is that the engine mounts are for a Chevy, but this is not a huge deal since I have a small block Chevy here. But just something about seeing a Chevy in a Cobra.....

When I bought the kit, I said I would probably regret it multiple times (due to missing parts) as I proceed with the build, but I could not pass up the challenge (translated = I am not too bright).

If anyone has an inventory list of what 'should' be in the kit that they could send me, I would really appreciate it.

Also, I see several posts about not having an updated manual. Mine is from July 16, 1992 and there are only two pages in the addendum/template envelope in the back of the manual (besides the dash cutout template). They are the Electric Fan (2-14) and Convertible top (7-34). Not sure if there are any more updates.

It is already obvious there is a great deal of knowledge & experience in this forum. I just hope I don't wear out my welcome as I begin this process. Thanks again!
