Owner built on a budget;

[Hray]

hey guys, friday nite update:

On the registering, I got a sb100 number two years ago. hopefully that will make it easy, this jan need to get another one for the other cobra.

On the Drive shaft, One advantage of being old, is that you have done lots of things and maybe had lots of jobs, in 73-75 I worked in a blacksmith shop in central illinois and made drive shafts and shortened along with lots of other types of black smith work.

This am I went to junk yard, found drive shaft from 83 tbird, brought it home and shortened it already, done deal, only cost total of $40.00

this is it;

also found the power steering pump, all the brackets and pulleys needed for power steering, and alternator stuff.

But being old still does not protect you from some impulse purchases, as walking past this t-bird I noticed the spare tire donut, now mind you I just assumed cobras never carried spares, but this donut caught my attention, and even if not on my shopping list I could not leave it in the trunk of that car. after you see it you may see my weakness.

It cost $13.00 plus tax. It even has the warning sticker on it not to exceed 50 mph. the tire has never been on the ground, mind you it does need some cleaning.

grand kids spent much of the day so did not get much wrench time.
