    Another Milestone!

    Pretty exciting here this weekend. My Cobra made it's first two laps around the block. Once it hit the street quite a few folks came out to see what was happening. One neighbor said he could still here me giggle like a little girl over those 525 hp. Everything including the wipers are working. Have a little adjustment I need to make to the clutch, but other than that finish the interior and should be good to go.

    Thanks everyone for all your help down this absolutely great venture.
