Winter Projects?
I was just wondering what projects any of you are planning to do on your Cobra this winter. I am thinking of replacing my traditional Cobra seats with the Kirkey style racing seats and to re-locate my passenger 5 point seat belts. Also, I may replace my clutch and brake pedals with a Tilton or Wilwood set.

WINTER!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets not jump the gun here 
Install the MSD and rev limiter, new hood and trunk props, redo the seat padding, change the gas peddle geometry, size and location, install horns, install brake vent covers, take windshield apart and install new rubber and tensioner, correct upper seat belt mounts, bead radiator pipes and perhaps switch over to all rigid pipe, finish off heater/defroster installation, new weather stripping, make and install door sills, rearrange gas filler for better filling and track down gas odor issue, make new caliper adaptors and mount 12.19 rotors on the front (perhaps even adapt the existing front 10.75s to the rear end), make and install spats, line wheel wells with some sort of material to cut down on noise and damage from rocks being thrown, install invinsa sheild on the bottom of the fenders behind the rear wheels (hoosier td pick up everything!), disable lever shocks and install the double adjustable tube shocks in the front.
The list is a LOT longer, but if I get this done this winter, I will be a pretty happy camper.
Next winter..... rear brakes if not done this winter, complete R&R of front suspension including a new fully adjustable coilover setup, adjustable rollbar and suspension tuning.

Rick,
Now that is a project list. I am tired just reading your list. Good Luck!

Wake up Clois!!
That was just off the top of my head. There is certainly more. One of the reasons I bought the car was as a hobby which is part of the reason I didn't buy one brand new. But, I don't have enough time to build one, so here I am!
When the weather is tolerable, I spend to much time driving the car to begin a project or risk the car being down.

Chappie,
I read your thread just after I posted my question. Hopefully, you will have all your registration, tag, and inspection in time to enjoy some fall cruises.

1.) Yank motor out. Put new heads, cam, intake on.
2.) Install line-loc
3.) Maybe get 5 point harnesses instead of the 4 points i have.

Drive the Cobra. Drive the Cobra some more. When its cold outside, put on the layers of clothing and, you got it, drive the Cobra some more!

Winter projects, clean all the bugs off the car I have accumulated over the summer...........Perhaps a new single plane intake manifold, and the addition of the correct puke tank.......Go over the suspension, tighten all the bolts all over the car, recheck the safety wired items......Nothing out of the oridinary, just something that I do to all of my high performance cars at least once a year.................
