I drove it a couple times, but I started it up last week and heard the sounds of a small child wailing on a gutter pipe with a 2x4.  So.. I took the blower belt off and it shut up.  As expected, the useed blower seems to need a rebuild.<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/foofinator/IMG_0343_zps78fbae97.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So, that's where I'm at.  I sent it off the Stegeimeier for a full port and polish, it should look nice. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/foofinator/P1010002_zps1f110763.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Then I finished (half-ass) the body man's job on my hood.  He left the underside nasty splotchy black and raw fiberglass.  I went to autozone and shot it with some color matching spray cans.  Not the best job, but it's getting better.  When I reinstall the blower I'll sand off some imperfections and touch it up.  It will shine more when I buff the clear coat.<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/foofinator/IMG_0348_zpsec15db5e.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/foofinator/P1010003_zpsaf59f354.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Then, in anticipation of the polished blower, I cleaned and polished everything I could find.<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/foofinator/P1010008_zps8993e40a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/foofinator/P1010007_zps0375f1d0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Finally, I went over the car with the orbital buffer.  Wash --> Clay --> SSR1 on a polishing pad --> EX-P on a finishing pad.<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/foofinator/P1010013_zpsb82421fa.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/foofinator/P1010009_zps41673936.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/foofinator/P1010010_zps552f701e.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Cobra has been left at my parents house in anticipation of the move.  Not to mention, it needs a transmission and likely a motor re-freshing.  No point in beating it up out here for the last few months I live in Oklahoma. The GT has become a far nicer car TBH.Here it is at the re-tune  a couple months ago.[video=youtube;-4MG2F2S4Ig]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=-4MG2F2S4Ig[/video]</blockquote>
