    Thumbs up Maiden Voyage

    Well, I just drove a Cobra for the first time and it was mine! I put 11 miles on her tonight. A few grimlins were discovered but I am a very happy camper. I'm not sure that it is ready to make the Saturday morning cruise without an alignment (tires are already feathering ) and it looks like I may have a leaking rear main as well.
    Tomorrow I will get it back on jack stands and take a closer look as well as try to do an eye ball alignment. In all a very good night.

    Does anyone have some advice on the best way to eyeball the front end alignment? I looked at the tires this morning and the insides are feathering pretty bad.
    Also, I will need to raise the car a little. The front tires are tucked in the fenders like a rice rocket and the car looks slammed, it has settled at least an inch maybe even two while on the jack stands. How much ground clearance do these cars normally have? Right now I would guess I have around 2 inches and will most likely have to trim the bell housing to drive any distance.
