Default My first 2,000 miles....

It's been around 3 months since I first picked up my cobra and have put 2,000+ miles on it so far! What a blast this car is to drive, and believe me, she loves being driven! Anyone who is on the fence about getting one of these cars....just do it! Issues so far.....had to replace and rewire the electric fan, replaced the carburetor, busted a push rod, replaced the header gaskets, replaced the spark plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires, and coil. I need to.... tune it correctly, still have not found the "sweet spot" with the timing and jet size, but it's getting better, do the body work (damage to nose when I bought it) and fill the roll bar holes, hook up the heater and wipers, straighten the spaghetti like mess of wires under the dash and hood, and modify my fiberglass comp seat so I am not just sitting on a pad on the floor. This forum and the local guys have been an invaluable help to me, and I just want to say thanks again. All in all, not too bad for a 20+ year old used hot rod! See y'all on the road, Mark
