    Didn't do a lot today, other things got in the way. My wife helped button up the Thermotec and carpet in the DS footbox, she's a lot more flexible than I am! I have a cool picture of her contorted in the car but it's not very flattering and I've been threatened about it.

    Added safety wire to the knockoffs on the pin drive wheels.



    Buttoned up the final little details under the car and got it back on the ground.

    We finally got a day of sunshine here in Texas so I was able to pull Project Cobra out for a few quick pictures.

    Working on the registration process. A few little things to button up and I'm going to call it complete other than driving.

    Tested the daytime running lights, turn signals, flashers, headlights, and high beams today. All good!

    Today I had a chance to run down to Summit and pick up some Power Grip hose clamps and get rid of those ugly worm clamps. I like the way these look, now let's see how they hold up under pressure.

    Tested for leaks this morning after installing the Power Grip hose clamps, and just wanted to hear the rumble lol. Waiting on the weather to clear some so can go for more test drives.

    My goodness, that rumble sounds SO good!

    BTW, where did you find the Carroll Shelby decal? I got some, but they turned out to be stickers and don't look good. I'm looking for one just like yours.
