Hi All!

Just thought I'd give you all more updates on the Cobra!

Deanna helped me install the motor this afternoon, and I have the custom hydraulic clutch system almost done! Also mostly complete is the interior aluminum work, though I am extending and deeprnijng the passemger foot-box as big as the headers will allow.

Also done is fuel, brakes, suspension.

Next will be steering and wiring!

here the car is as of this morning!

Hmmm.....don't you mean you helped Deanna? I have photographic evidence that she's doing 95% of the work on Cobrask8.

I think if you actually did a little more work yourself, Cobrask8 might even be done by now!

btw - Looking good!

Is that a manual brake master I'm looking at or is it the clutch master? Oh , and the underhood light is a nice touch should be nice if you breakdown at night

Nice work! BTW, that "open air" concept body work would make engine work very easy to do!

Worth,

If I tow a 110 generator, that light will be great to work on! You see the brakes master, the hydraulic clutch master will be above the pedals, inside the aluminum, but the resevior will probably be external. also, the interior article will be in the upcomming issue of Hemmings Mustang Magazine! (Finally!) PM me your e-mail, and I can send you a PDF of the article.

Heck, if you want a ride, fly on out and give Deanna a hand putting it together! And when you're done, you can drive it to my place and give me a hand on "sally"!!!

I've got the photographic evidence!
But then again, in Chepsk8's defense, Deanna won't cook, clean, do laundry or any other chores, so he has to get some work out of her some how and since she is his daughter and this occurs on his premises and he's not making any profit, child labor laws don't apply!
