Dallas CC: engine drop Wednesday pm!
 
:eek: :eek: .. my car will be here around 9 pm tonight, per Rich Lacy :D I have discussed having a few folks help me set the motor in it this week and we have converged on this Wednesday Sep 19 around 7 pm. So far John Ross and John Shelton are coming .. anyone is welcome to watch or help. If you'd like to be there, please reply or pm me and I'll keep you in the loop as this firms up. I don't plan to serve food, so eat first, but there will be beer and sodas :)

My house is in far west McKinney:
1509 Pine Hollow Dr
McKinney, TX 75070

No, the Goodyear Billboards are not on backwards! They are painted on both sides. Will take care of that later ;)

I'm taking the week off now, lots of fun and lots of cussing ahead, I suppose :)

Yea had a good time, little nervous about rolling it back on the deck with no tire blocks, but hey a new Cobra to the neiborhood.

SSSammy 09-17-2007 05:24 PM

Wednesday at 7 pm is firm!
 
I've seen enough last night and today that I think we can go ahead. Got all the parts inventoried, pulled the seats and the tunnel out. This is probably the last picture of the entire car before I pull the doors and hood off tomorrow.

What a beauty! A silver streak with blood lines. Is your face getting sore from smiling so much? Getting your new toy is better than ____________!
Fill in the blank and enjoy. Congratulations!
