Project News!
| Oct 2005 |
Today was the
last time I drive the Chevycobra this year. It's coming apart for paint
starting tomorrow and on November 12th, Stewart Transport shows up to
take the body to 'Da Bat'. It's bitter sweet, I'm excited about finally
being finished next spring but it has been a toy more fun than any other
I ever owned and I'm sad to finally take it apart.
Totals:
2 oil changes
3070 miles
more grins to count!
I don't think I had to turn one screw because of a mechanical issue, so
that's good!
For next year, I might as well change everything! We'll be stepping up
the engine and changing the entire rotational assembly, adding GN power
brakes and have almost decided on power steering.

Well, after much
consideration and homework, I decided to scrap the GN setup (literally).
After getting the setup all in there and then trying to bleed the
brakes, it was apparent that my pump was leaking. So, onward and upward!
I ordered the combination 7" round vacuum booster and Corvette 1" bore
master Cylinder from Speedway motors. The MC is all setup for regular
3/16 brake line with standard 3/8-20 double flare ends. It's
a great booster and I can't wait to see how it works!
Thanks for visiting! - R and J. |
