Yeah buddy, I been there with the floor jack used as a tranny jack! I have spent many a day and/or night fighting some aggravating mechanical project. On occasion giving up for the night and in the morning it dawning on me,,,,,"Oh man, I had the friggin clutch plate backward all that time!" Or some other "little" thing, perhaps the distributor in 180 degrees out and spending HOURS trying to figure out why the motor won't start! Ha ha, yeah, your little episode do bring back some memories!

These days, a little older and a little more "tired" I'm surprised to find: I get as much enjoyment in "directing" various workers in a project as I did actually doing the "hands on" myself in years past.

Now you, being a "young man", have many years ahead of hand to hand combat with your Cobra. Enjoy every minute of it while you can, the good, the bad and the ugly will eventually all add up to a "job well done" in the fullness of time.
