Thanks guys

The whole family really likes the car ... (especially me, imagine that) and yes to be honest, I have spent some 'extra' time in the garage ... it's fun to just look at it.

Picked up the motor today from Tom at FE Specialties, brought it home along with a few more boxes of parts. Next step will be to make sure I have all the parts I need and set up a time with the boys to drop in the motor and trans.

My guess is the motor and trans will very likely go in pretty easily, hooking everything else up will probably take a bit more time ... looking forward to it !

All ears/eyes are on this space, Tim!
Wolf's build aside, there's not much a-happening specific to ERAs on ClubCobra at the moment - unless you count in a bit of excitement about tee-shirts - so, you have our full attention.
Cheers,
Glen

She's a real beauty Tim! I can't wait to see what she looks like all finished up and ready for the road.

Thanks Buzz !


Let me go off topic for just a moment ...

As has been said on this forum many times, you come for the cars, but it's the people that make the place.

Case in point, about 6 weeks ago I was on vacation with my family in the Caribbean. One of the islands we visited was St Lucia, a lush tropical island with banana plantations, groves of fruit trees and very friendly people. Well when I found out we would be visiting St. Lucia, I knew that I needed to look up Buzz. We were able to meet Buzz and his lovely wife for a little over an hour and talk about Cobras, the Caribbean and California.

... A beer with Buzz in St. Lucia ... priceless

it was priceless Tim! We had a brief time with you and your family but it was time really well spent. Our Cobras bring us a lot of joy but one of the greatest parts of the whole experience is meeting new friends and growing the extended Cobra family.
It was easy to see how much you were looking forward to taking delivery, so I can just imagine how you are feeling right now. Congratulations again on putting together one awesome Cobra!
