Thinking of Selling out

mustangmendez · #1 (**permalink**) 09-09-2006, 01:56 PM

Times have been up and down for us .I have been so busy trying to keep up with the bills ect .When I do have some time I spend it with the 2 loves of my Life Nickey and Wyatt .The other time to myself I picked up playing the Bass Guitar back in Sept 2005 I have always lioved Music and dont expect to be any kind of rock star at my age I just love being a part of the music .
So to slow down some I need to sell my Cobra unfinished which I know if I finished it it would be worth more but I dont have the time and $ to do so .
On the other hand if I able to sell our home / buisnesses at a good price I could find a place and the time to finish the Cobra but anyway still thinking anyone intressed in a unfinished custom built Cobra ??????

Sorry you feel you need to sell your cobra but I understand the family deserves our time. Is your cobra a kit and in what stage is it in? I'm going to be buying one to start on this winter.

Tony, all I can say is that you have friends who will support whichever decision you make.

Hope you still come hang out us.
