Default lost a leg

not really, but i just watched my cobra jet driva away with its new owner, sad ? yes , Happy ? yes but glad to have sold it to get on with my next project.
I hope the 570 monster is good to its new owner, i did notice a small sign of emotions from the car as the fuel pump devloped a small leak today. My image below will have to change now to a empty garage

It's sad to lose a part of your family, Dodge, you have your memories... lest you forget...

i got 60 k for it which was a fair price . these R codes are worth heaps back in the usa , next project will be to finish off the chop top XY , and i have a boss 302 69 fastback over in nevada waiting for a full rebuild. I also have a cooper S rally car to build , so i better pull my finger out and get to work while its cooler, I hate working in summer, there isnt enough beer to cool me down

i work 6 days a week 10 hrs a day...dont think about the cost as long as i can recover the $ spend but labour is free most of the time eg spend 15k on parts and 100 hrs doing it and sell it for 20k, i dont build cars to sell , i just get fustrated with them or bored, im the type of guy who like the greener grass

Damn Dodge ... the Mustang was one hell of a sweet car ... probably one of the neatest I have seen ... and the XY looks like it's going to be one hell of a ride as well.

Nice work
