Great news Pat. It's been quite a ride tracking you on this venture. Get the pics up soon (or since the gallery is broken, send some as attachmentss!)

Tell me, was it hard to see the Crossfire be taken away or were you too exited over the new ride to notice??????

Here you go. Best I could do for right now, it was dark when I got home from work. Took a quick blast around the neighborhood and put it to bed. Remember the side pipes are getting silver ceramic and the wheels are getting switched out for Halibrand style wheels. I'll also be yanking the polished stone guards in favor of some clear 3M at some point. Thanks for all the positives and your patience, you guys are the best!

PatPur,

Very nice! I have always loved Cobra's. Which manufacturer?
What size engine? It certainly looks fun and well cared for. I am sure you will enjoy it!

Cheers,
KrzyFast

Very nice Pat! I agree with you, those wheels look like white shoes and need to be changed.

It's been a lot of fun following along w/ you, thanks for sharing the dream w/ us. Those side strakes(I mean vents)sure would look good if we could make em' work on our X-fires.

Pat:

Enjoy livin' the dream! You think you wore a permagrin with your XFire. Just wait 'til good weather comes along & stays. You'll take permagrin to another level! Make sure you keep us updated with improvements you make to the Cobra. And I would like some more detail on that motor! It looks like it could really light up the tires!

Thanks again for letting us tag along with you on this quest.

Pat, I remember meeting you on another forum (PTE) many years ago. Now look how far we've both gone. We both have gotten our own "Dream Car". Have always loved the Shelby Cobras. I had a slot car version as a kid, and it was blue also! Very gald for you.
