Long Wait
Bobby --
Did I read correctly that it will be Thanksgiving weekend before you make the trip to go pick up HM2008?? That's still a long wait. It will be a relief once it makes it to it's new home.
Congrats too on the upcoming first grandbaby. We just got our first grandson 8 weeks ago.
Starting up HM2005 tomorrow. Got the bug at the TCC meet and finally decided it's time to hear some side pipe music. I'll do a video but not sure I'm smart enough to figure out how to post it.
Hopefully the days will pass quickly and HM2008 will be home at last. You've certainly been waiting a long time.
-- Russ

Waiting ...Waiting....Waiting..... 
I remember the anxiety and enthusiasm. Have fun when it arrives and take pictures. You made a good choice.

Have you finalized your trip plans yet - were you still thinking about swinging through Springfield?
Let's see, you have probably already mopped the garage floor where the Cobra goes by now.

Hey, Mark - It looks like we are going to make a very quick turnaround this trip. My son needs to be back for the weekend, so we are going to leave Dallas Thanksgiving afternoon, after the family gathering, arriving at Hurricane on Friday morning. We'll get the tour by Dusty, then load up and head back home, arriving back in Dallas late Friday night.

Lake City to Dallas in one day - better tell Dusty to be there early. 
Actually looking forward to working on mine some over the Holiday. Should have wheels any day now. The antisipation of working up to the first start is about as much as going to get the car.
Be safe.

Mark, my son Nick and I will swap off driving duties 
Where are you getting your wheels from?
We will be off on holiday from Dec 21st to Jan 2nd and no plans to go anywhere. I have a 18kbtu heat pump in the mancave and plan to make good progress!

Still a long drive, be careful. Sending you a PM on the wheels, but the short answer is Trigo.

Prepare yourself that you'll receive what looks like a fairly assembled car and the first steps are to disassemble it!
After 6 months, my car looked like this!

Bobby,
I hope you are packed and ready to travel! Only two more days and you will be picking up your new Hurricane
I have the 99 car all cleaned up and ready to take you for a ride even though the weather looks a little cool for Friday. |

The garage is cleared, body buck is built, the truck is loaded, the trailer is hooked up, iPhone loaded up with GPS and lots of tunes, cooler with drinks and snacks. I think I'm ready!
I can't believe, after 12 years of Club Cobra membership, the day is almost here!

Perseverance always prevails in the end when the mission is noble. Good job on all fronts.
Bob, thanks for including me in your story; looking forward to the next chapter.

Fred - after a nice 11 hour nap, we unloaded the trailer yesterday (Saturday 11/24), all is tucked away in the garage. Today is the honey-do list, i.e., getting down Christmas lights and decorations - so the cobra build will have to start next weekend I guess since the first half of the car is now officially in Texas, its time to end this thread and start a build thread next weekend.... let the adventure begin!

Bob, nice picture frame! I still can't get over how good the body looks. I had to re-build the area for the head lights and yours looks like the head lights will slip right in. Also, I had a lot of filling and sanding to do before starting to paint. You'll enjoy the build and if you have questions, don't forget the HM site has a wealth of prior knowledge and plenty of willing help. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Sam
