Thanks, gents.
One thing I have been able to do is order parts. My "Armando 289 Cobra replica road race
oil pan" just came today. Apparently, my German Shepherd, in full regalia (barred teeth, flared hair), charged the DSL truck when he tried to come up the driveway. Very protective dog of my wife and son---we call him, "The DogFather".
Big stack of parts waiting for me... TKO-600, Quicktime bellhousing, new
oil pan... Just waiting on the side pipes and drive shaft from ERA. I hope to fire it up by the end of September. Little pieces of time. We'll see.
