I really was suprised at the attention I got, as I really wasn't looking for attention. Everybody stares and give the "thumbs up", or just ask lots of questions when I fill up.
No real mechanical problems except having to adjust the clutch pedal and change the advance springs in the distributor. Only a small list of repairs or modifications to do over the winter, which includes changing the oil pan & pickup, installing the (polished) turkey pan, adjusting/centering the steering wheel, fixing the tach and speedo ground wires, checking the wheel bearings, and touch up the engine paint, which baked off at the exhaust boss (both heads).
Overall, I am thrilled by the performance and driving experience and, after forty years of wanting a Cobra, I can't wait until next season.

I'm hoping the winter project list helps make the winter go by a little faster!

I'm with you, spring can't come soon enough!
