Gone very far to the Dark Side

Got word that the chassis is shipping on Saturday. Goes on a semi-trailer with a bunch of other kits. Will get a delivery estimate when the load is set & the route planned. Its coming from the Cape Cod, Mass area so it might ride around on the truck for a while.

Got the work area pretty much set to go.

I will be meeting with a local group of builders on Saturday & hope to see some finished cars.

Met with some of the Triangle Area builders today. There are about 13 cars running within about 30 miles of Raleigh & AFAK none have built them with a top. It was 32 this morning so only 4 cars came & some of the rest of the guys drove their regular cars. Last month 10 cars where there for the coffee & sticky buns.

The wheels have arrived today. 9" & 10.5" wide. Will mount the tires after the weekend.

Just heard; the kit is on the truck going out on Monday.

Tires mounted & balanced, great service no dings at Blacks Tire Service in Raleigh. A bit pricy but they have a guy who specializes in oversized tires & wheels along with Road Force equipment.

Wheels are replicas of the OEM Cobra Halibrand Magnesium ones that were on the 427 version of the Cobra. Getting close to the start as a bunch of drop shipped boxes have shown up & the car is on the way, hoping it escapes the newest snow up north

Car arrived 5PM 2/7/14 on the top row.

Used the pickup to bring 5 loads of boxes up the driveway. Bob from Stewart was a big help getting the chassis on the jack stands, will take a shot tomorrow.
