Default Upgrade Time

Well, after 6 years with 181 Lorrie and I traded her in on 930. She is currently at Tangible Toys having Wayne do some of the drive line install. FMS 427 crate motor and a T-56 6 speed trans. You can't beat Wayne's attention to detail. I'm getting a bit ansy to drive as Cobra weather is here in Florida. I also missed the Reptile Roundup for the first time. I've been to every one. Even the rainy one at the Beef O Bradys.

You can see 181 in the background here.

I think the extra weight of the T-56 will even things out....

Going over the Wayne's shop in the morning to install the gauges. I opted to not get the BDR gauges. Ordered a set of the Revolution Gauges instead.

Nah, he just doesn't want the neighbors knowing he's got a new car

Congrats and enjoy it! I love the meatball and team stripes; I'll probably do those on my next one!

Please post pics of the panel when done...

Jim,
I don't recall hearing of anyone trading up for an upgraded Cobra replica. I like it. I hope they get it finished soon. Enjoy.

SCHWEET. Look forward to getting out with you guys again. You missed a solid RoundUp, it wasn't the same without you though. I did hear you made an appearance at the cruise destination with the M car.
I'm down for a while, starting the teardown for the new ride.

Beautimus, an absolutely perfect day for it. Glad you're back on the road. Any thoughts on comparisons, between old and new?

Nice car, Jim. I suspect we'll both be keeping ours for a while...
