11/7/01 I
have been remiss in my duties as the mistress of web page
updates. I realize this, but I have to ask for a little break
on this. Mostly because the weather here has been great, and
we have been spending a lot of time driving around in the cobra (not
at the computer). It has been great, except for the age old
problem of long hair in a convertible, what is a woman to do?
Even if you pull the hair back, you end up looking like a deranged
individual that should be living under a bridge.

 This
picture was taken by Jeff Collins of Whitby Motorcars during the
body work process. |
 They
did a great job on the seams.

 Well,
October 16th was a great day! We got the car, and the paint
looked great! Please ignore the picture date, the camera
batteries were going bad. |

of the front end after paint. It was begging to be driven.... |
 Passenger
side view. Thanks to Jeff and Barry at Whitby's for a great
paint job. |
 I'm
sorry to say that the pictures do not do the paint justice. In
the full sun it really shines, and the color is a lot brighter than
it looks here!

 Painted
cobra in the garage. We still needed to install the carpet,
and passenger seat. |
 Being
the smaller person in the family has it's disadvantages!
William thought this was really funny. Since I had my head in
the footbox most of the day, I found it a little less humorous. |
 For
many hours afterward, my back was stuck in that hunched over
position, but in the end it was worth it. The carpet came out
really well. |
 Just
so you didn't think I did all the carpet by myself... Here is
William working away on the passenger side carpet. |
I haven't been taking a
lot of pictures, but we wanted to get the most enjoyment out of the
car before it gets too cold. We have been driving around after
work and on the weekends. It runs great, and looks
great! We still have some minor bits and pieces to take care
of, but it has been a lot of fun for us. We can't wait until
the spring when there will be some cobra gatherings.
To our family and
friends that have been supportive during our project...
Thank
you!
Best Wishes, and
Drive Safe! - William and Laurel
