Introductions Are In Order

[CoolCarl]

Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce myself. I've been lurking on these forums for about a month. I just registered a week or so ago and I figured I should say hi and maybe say a little about myself.

I got my first introduction to the cobra in high school. I graduated high school in 1987 and I'm 40 years old. My high school auto teacher was a big Ford guy. Before he taught auto shop he was a cam shaft engineer for ford. He used to engineer/design racing cams for them. His name was Mr. Kaufman. He had all kinds of Ford racing memorabilia in the shop.

Oh, and he hated Chevys. Before every lesson that we took there would be an impromptu quit. Simple stuff like what to do if your engine will turn over but not start. They were always multiple choice and fairly simple. The last option was always a rip on chevy products.

My first car was a 75 spitfire that I sunk WAY too much money on. I had it for 16 years. out of those 16 years I think it actually ran for 2 of them. My first muscle car was a 67mustang that was a GT-350 knock off. It looked good, ran good, but handled like a sack of wet noodles.

My friends and I would always drool over the current issue of Kit Car magazine. There was always at least 1 cobra being featured every month if not several.

I'm not sure if I could build my own kit. I have some basic automotive knowledge. I've done stuff like rebuild my 289, R&R engine/tranny, install new vinyl on seats, new carpet, install headliners. I can design and install a pretty mean audio system (not really applicable for cobras though). It's been a really long time since I've done any of that though.

I'll stop now before I start to ramble.

Regards,

Carl
