I had some time this weekend to work on the Cobra. Moving beyond the sheet metal and started some serious wrench turning.With my trusty torque wrench and a pile of parts in hand... of course, the build manual near by. I dove into the front suspension. This picture shows only some of the parts used on the front suspension.Spindles, upper/lower A-Arms, Steering arms, shocks and hardware.
Here is a picture of where I'm at now. This is just all of the parts put into their right location (mocked-up). I still need to torque everything down. The upper A-Arm assembly is fully adjustable.... Ummm, by I professional once the car is complete. You can see the hub in the lower left side. Once that is installed I'll begin to work on installing the brakes.
We did take a few minutes to stop by our local Albertsons and visit with the Oscar Myers Weinermobile. Isn't as cool as the cobra. But, it is a pretty cool automotive design. Based on a GM motorhome chassis. Hmmm, Cobra painted Yellow with Orange strips, HOT DOG!.... I don't think so. The cobra needs to be paint a color to blend in a little more.
Even Jenn and Dominic showed up and get their hands on a Whistle and sticker!
Well, that's it for this week. Next week is Superbowl. So, I don't expect that I'll be spending to much time in the garage.
