Brad, thanks for the tip re the brake fitting. The manual has some detail and I know Craig has been working his backside off on the latest version and when that eventually comes through it will be really helpful, however since I haven't built an ICV before, I really value your input since you've "been there, done that". So, thanks for putting up with my phone calls! I promise to ring you only after I've scratched my head so hard, it hurts (or even bleeds)!!

Tony, we actually had Gold 104.3 on in the background. TBH, call me un-Australian if you may, but I couldn't care less for the footy. Guess that's why we were building a Cobra on Grand Final day in the first place!

Rob, it's a kitchen/dining table...but I don't think my wife thought anything of it. Besides, we'd just gotten back from a small vacation and all she wanted to do was get into bed. So, I just made sure everything was nice and clean after I'd finished. I actually think that's the secret (making sure you leave no reminder that you'd been there)!

It's funny...I ordered my Cobra 2 years ago and received it late last December. It has sat idle in my factory collecting dust for the past near-on 10 months while I worked my ass off to earn money to buy parts. Now that I've started the build, all I want to do is get to my factory to 'do something, do anything' on the car! Can't stop thinking about it. Alas, family commitments do get in the way!

At least I can go in a few hours early each morning, and spend my lunch break on her as well. It may be my famous last words, but I don't see the Pace 427SC as taking all that long to build (especially that mine is at a roller stage).

Cheers,
Sime
