Well, I woke up today and I felt the need to embalm my clothes with the fine aroma of a newly born 427 Side Oiler's first burp of exhaust. That combined with my determination to get my pal "carrerajon" into the Cobra fold and both of our schedule's begging for a little automotive R&R, he and I road tripped it down to McDonough for a trip to see the great folks at Southern Automotive. I called Susan and she said their schedule would work. We arrived to see Lewis "cutting the cord" as a beautiful aluminum Side oiler was letting out it's first authoritative rumble for final careful inspection and tuning for shipment. My shirt smells so good now it won't be washed for sometime. There is some lucky guy who will be receiving a wonderful motor, thats for sure. Bill was on the phone a bit of course--probably with Chill or GeorgiaSnake
We also got to see Chill and GeorgiaSnake's motors in the final stages of assembly
Just kidding, actually they were only working on GeorgiaSnake's since he paid 2 cents more in total price after tax than Chill
. After all, Bill is a smart business man. They also mentioned something about too much Wild Turkey and forgetting who gave it to them--they think it was GS, so that also moved him up in the queue. Too bad you will both be behind the "Elephant Motor" though for shipment
As a matter of fact, you may want to get used to being behind it permanently
We then left for Bruce Bunn's place and got to see a certain "Rocket" in the making. It will be one of the COOLEST cars out there--stay tuned. I feel real sorry for the sap who goes toe to toe with that when it's done. It's like picking a gun fight with Dirty Harry!!
Geez, I hope this thread doesn't get Chill or GS fired up, no siree
. All that said, you haven't lived til you drove a 911 with a stick in Atlanta traffic for two hours
Flew up 675 and 285 and right around to the 85 intersection got to hear WSB announce the lovely mess on 400. It was worth it though.
