10 Years and still counting.

[3 Wire]

Well I got my Cobra running today, FINALLY, after 10 years! I bought the car From B & B in 2002. The company I work for went through bankruptcy in 2004, then my three boys had college expenses, and lastly we paid off the house. (Now I know why all the guys I see driving Cobras have gray hair).
Three years ago, I once again started collecting "parts" for Christmas and birthdays. I can't believe how long it took me to decide on engine size, transmission type, and wheel size, but I finally got it all together, and today, I got to "drive" it home. I had it at my friend's auto shop, because I had so many questions, he said, just bring it down and work on it there. Next month, I'll start on the body work, BUT I CAN NOW DRIVE IT! Actually, I kind of like it primer grey, with no interior. Like a big go-kart.
A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO BRYAN AND CO FOR QUICKLY ANSWERING ALL MY STUPID QUESTIONS.
I guess owning a Cobra is like life, it's a journey, not a destination.
My car... 428, dual quad, edelbrock heads, 10:5 to 1, solid roller cam, TKO 600, with a 4:11/9" rear end . It is scary quick! Is it possible to be too quick?
I just wanted to say thanks to all who participate on this forum. It provided me with many hours of useful AND conflicting information. When I had no money I had lots of time to study, plan and wish. :-)

"It is scary quick! Is it possible to be too quick?"

It's only as quick as you want it to be. Remember that YOU have control of the loud pedal.

Just be carefull until you get used to it.
Have fun.

I've had mine for 30 years and it is as much fun now as the first day it was on the road. Good luck!

Let the new round of fun begin!
