The busy time

We're just about into that period where everything starts to get really crazy for the holidays.  I don't really enjoy it so much.  It's more a matter of trying to get through it without losing my mind.  Many parties to look forward to, gifts…

Dashing my hopes

I was fortunate enough to be able to take the last week off from work.  Didn't go anywhere and the kids were still in school.  But, I did have some time to work on the Cobra.  In a nutshell I got all of the wiring in wire loom…

Amazingly enough, this is not a post about how I plan on working on the cobra soon.  I've actually worked on it this time!  Over the weekend I tagged and removed all of the wiring, moved the body back onto the frame, set up a 4x8 sheet of…
