Rick is using his trailer to bring Doug's car and parts to Akron (Oh) BUT he has to take the trailer back for immediate repairs! I made the WRONG assumption that Rick was just going to drop his trailer, I would hook up and come to Pentwater with the Cobra and parts, then return it to Akron when the car was done.

Rick also explained how much work has been done on the car and how much is left.....seems it is basically painted and thats it, Steering isn't in, must be steered by grabbing the wheels. No problem at all but getting the car done by Christmas (what I was shooting for) seems out of the question.

Botom line; ANYONE have an enclosed trailer I can use from Akron to Pentwater, until Spring would be great but we'll take anything we can get! Or does someone know of any trailer rental places in the area of either Pentwater or Akron?

DOUG: I've been trying to list all the donated parts and get pictures for you....well that hasn't happened yet, BUT it will soon! Sorry, just trying to get caught up completely in the shop before your car gets here!

Hope all is going well Fella! You WILL be driving this monster soon!

(One glitch!!?? Unheard of!)

Hi, Ed. Sorry for the delayed response. The chemo has been kicking me pretty hard. Sorry about the trailer mixup, that's probably my fault. I just assumed that you had one. I wonder if one can be rented one way in Akron for the trip back? I don't know what else to do about that, I don't have one. The steering on the car is about the only suspension piece in the car that isn't installed, all the rest of the suspension is done. It needs the dash installed and the wiring completed, and the powertrain installed, I guess the rest is just hooking up all the various bits - radiator, oil cooler and lines, fuel pump and lines, etc...I guess there will need some fabrication to be done with regard to the aluminum shrouding in the nose for the radiator and oil cooler. The last thing that I want you to feel Ed is rushed or that you have a deadline. I am so indescribably appreciative of what you're doing....please take all the time you need. DCDoug sent me a check for the money raised by check from everyone here on Club Cobra, and he still has the paypal account minus whatever has been spent from it. Between the two hopefully the trailer costs can be covered to get the car to your place. I'll worry about how to get the car to Houston when that wonderful time comes. That'll be a terrific problem to have, no? (-:

Thanks so much, Ed and to everyone, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. Also, a HUGE thank you to Rick Lake. Rick, and everyone, I will never forget your kindness. You guys are unbelievable. This whole thing is unbelievable! Thanks to Rick, to Ed, and to all of you!
Doug
