Well,
The brakes were good enough to go ...............so I went. Had a great time saw some REALLY nice cars.

Brakes are still so-so (I'll continue to work this issue.)

Mini-starter decided to act up (would only start 40% of the time) I've got it out and will take it to the builder this week, he has already comitted to replace it at n/c though its 3yrs old...great folks that stand behind their work.

Ran over a 10/penny nail but lucked out and caught a great tire shop owner just before closing that fixed the tire and didn't even want me to pay: "I'm just glad I got a chance to see one of these Cobra's up close"...I paid him anyway.

Fan wire came off so the car started getting hot while sitting still (go figure ) so I just kept driving fast

But besides these small issues things were great.

I did a mileage check since this was a chance to see what improvement the Tremec was over my Toploader...............Toploader was 13.5MPG, Tremec was 17.1MPG up and 18.5MPG back.......not bad milage for a big Block

Later Mike
