Update: tuesday nite;

we have slacked up some, so still a few things to do.

The exhaust is on, seats are in, dash is in, wind wings are on, rims are almost polished ready for install.
lights are all on, motor runs again.


Got my acceptance letter yesterday for autorama, I guess we are in.
Tomorrow we will install steering column and shaft. Ordered a new review mirror from finishline, they shipped it yesterday, I think that is the last piece and the car will be totally assembled.

Our punch list is this; spot paint underside where jacks and stands may have scratched paint. One last final buffing on car. Install review mirror when it arrives.

the roll bar went on great, the model A rubber trim worked perfect around the body I will post pics tomorrow of that. We went out back and removed the hood support assembly from the 69 vette and installed it on the cobra. looks great and works like a dream, will get you pictures tomorrow.

I will carpet the side walls of trunk next also. While car is stil up on jack stands we will go around the entire car and retorque all the bolts that are accessible.

Tomorrow should be the last full day on the car, craig is coming down to assist in these final details.

We have 8 more days to setup for autorama. I will most likely be tinkering right up to the last minute. We have two other cars to set up along with mine. A black 55 chevy, and 65 split window big block vette. The 3 cars should make a nice display.


later Ray
