Sorry for the long delay in the posting my progress. Got the car up and running and have logged around 700 miles on it.
Now, a totally different car with the IRS vs the old Boat anchor 9". Additionally, the overall look of the car is much more
period correct with all the new goodies. Everything came out better than I could have imagined.

Anyway, when I first put it back on the road I figured I would drive it around "easy" and not get into the throttle
too deep until I had time to install the watts linkage.... Stay out of the throttle in a Cobra... Yeah, that worked out well.. I ended up breaking one of the lower jag arms at PART throttle (ok, maybe it was a little more than part but I was in 2nd gear ) and
ended up having to pull them both out and add some gussets. THEN, before I drove it again I installed the Watts linkage.
