finally down the road

[MIGHTY MIKE B.]

I finally got to drive the cobra down the road. One mile to calibrate the speedometer. It has been a long time since I have started this build. I got one of the kits sold on ebay back in 2002. This morning I am taking it in to be aligned and than work on the lose ends that I still have to finish.

Congratulations! That is very nice. Sweet hood graphic!

Mike,
Welcome to the fraternity.
The car looks great! Can't wait to see it in person.
Tell us about the build and yourself.

I got the kit back in 2002 of ebay. It was the first thing that I had ever purchased from ebay. I have been slowly building it. Two kids in high school and collage had a way of helping with the slow part. The cobra has a 351 windsor crate motor that I purchased used with 5 hours on it out of a ski boot. Tremac tko five speed with a currie 9 inch with a 3:70 gear. I live up in Michigan, and we are in the middle of are cruising season. I also have a 68 camaro that I have been going to car shows and cruises with. Every one keeps asking me when will the car be done. Saturday is a big car show about 5 miles from home and that will be the first one I take the cobra to. I put 20 miles on it today every thing worked good and now I need to check the fluid levels and a fewer adjustments

Congrats Mike.

I would love to see it. What part of Michigan are you in. I will be up in Coldwater next week relaxing at the lake.
let me know if you are close we can meet up.

I am located in Montrose. Which is about 2 hours northeast of Coldwater. Saturday the RC model airplane club that I belong to is having a big bird air show, and Sunday I will be at the car show in Montrose. Took the cobra to its first car show today and came home with a nice top 20 plaque. I have about 140 miles on the car now and I am really having fun with the car. I am working though a coiling problem on the car. I just about have it fixed
