    Progress Thread The next "big" project for my Cobra - T-top conversion coming soon!

    He's kinda sore atm. He got into it with another dog last week and broke his lower left canine tooth, so the vet extracted it Monday morning. So he's been laying down on the job quite a bit lately.

    So.... I installed a new fuel filter tonight. Went to check for leaks and found that the pump's not priming. Checked my connections and didn't find anything weird, swapped the relay with another new one "just in case" and checked voltages. My battery is a tad low at 11.8 volts per the handheld...

    I don't think the ride is telling me anything, I think it's the universe telling me that I'm not supposed to have anything nice. :rlaugh:

    Went to take the wheels off the car and they're being stubborn. The lugs are recessed in the wheels and require a thin wall socket. The only socket that I have that fits is a 3/8 drive. What I've done in the past is use that socket with a 1\2 - 3\8 adapter and zipped them with my impact and...

    Mr raccoon did a little more damage than just the front cover. :fuss: Crawled under it when I got home, the radiator support is pushed back there too. Could tell something wasn't quite right by the headlight gap around the cover and the hood not quite lining up. On a positive note, I do...

    Well, it was nice for about a week.... Left the house and there were 3 or 4 cats in the road on the outskirts of town. I saw them and figured one would run out in front of me, and it did. I was able to miss him easy enough. Then, not a minute later, as soon as I hit 60, a damned raccoon ran...

    I know where a possible candidate is sitting. Was thinking I'd go check on it sometime this summer since I want some parts it might have.... :chin

    Meh - not my cup-o-tea, but whatever floats your boat! :rlaugh: Now, if you really want that project to take on, one of my friends shared this listing with me this morning: https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/833645763123319/ Had to open the link to copy/paste - unfortunately it looks...

    Pulled the Cobra out of the back garage and into the big one, then jacked it up in preparation for it's new tires. The brakes have felt somewhat spongy the last few times I've driven it around the block, figured I'd go through them while I have it in the air. I went ahead and ordered all new...

    Yeah, I get it. Unfortunately it's not just the residual spots left over from the wash as the reason I think it needs a repaint. I have a small rust spot that reared it's ugly head in the passenger's rocker, some old bondo work on the hood that has given up and left the building, and a pretty...

    Just bit the bullet and bought the Cobra some new shoes. Same size cheapy tire in the front, but the new rears are a tad larger. Going from 265/50-15 to Nitto 275/50-15 drag radials. Pics to come when they're installed in a week or 2. :D...

    Hit 31.1 MPG on the display this afternoon. Much better than the truck (as it should be....).
