Alright boys, now that the cold season is coming upon us, what plans do you have for the Cobra during the winter? What updates to do. what problems to fix? What things to improve? Decisions, decisions!
In my case, I hope to have my new big block in place and the chassis refurbished, ready to be sorted at the first hint of spring. I guess it's also time to give the car a fresh look, I think just a basic Midnight Blue Metallic this time............

Cold??? Winter???
I'm confused...

Ya gotta love the South, baby!!! Only bad part is that the car almost never gets "down time" to allow me to work on minor stuff.

Keith,
Texas is south of Camden SC, now if you want the Deep South try at least Cape Coral, FL. Actually winter is the time down here to drive a Cobra it's the dry season and only in the 80.

Actually, I do have a short laundry list, but it's nothing major... clean up some messy underhood wiring, install the trunk carpet, install door hinge covers, buy a Halotron fire extinguisher (to replace the dry-chem unit)... things like that.

Winter=drive it. My timing is perfect

Simple list: go to Alabama, pick up the car, build it, ignore the weather-drive it.

Drive it until they salt the roads down....then make new sidepipes. The stock FIA sidepipes sound good, but the noise level is sub-par. We are thinking either straight pipes, or a small stainless steel baffle to take that harsh sound off straight pipes.
