Paint it black

Painted the block yesterday. I should have pics up soon. I think it looks ok, not  show  quality but better than greasy. Still need to paint the manifold. I’ve decided to paint  it black rather than getting it blasted. It’ll be cheaper and easier and I won’t…

Engine cleaning tunnel

Well July was fun but I did almost nothing with the Cobra.  Last month we celebrated Jacob’s and my birthdays.  It was Jacob’s  first and my 30th.  Woot!  Don’t feel a day over 39! Finally got to work on the engine again over the weekend. I basically…

Flyin grease dots!

Started cleaning the engine…ugh.  It doesn’t cost any money and it had to be done eventually.  As you can see from the new pics, it’s a very, very messy project.  I started off by vacuuming the all of the bird seed out of the…
