I won't complain as things are starting to stable out. My girl just passed her bar and is already working for the state in preparation to taking on an atornee position. I have also started my business in the form of EMPIRE Mtrs. I'm currently picking upa part time job not because I need one because at this point I could literaly live off of my future wife but that's not me. It will be driving parts for shops so no biggie 20 hours a week no sweat. I also had some fantastic news in that a friend from CHicago that I grew up with and worked and raced with me now lives but a few minutes from me after nearly 7 years. So it looks like I have my other set of hands I've needed to tackle bigger engine and car builds/ I'm ready.Now as far as the Cobra, well it has received some new parts. I finally finished getting both of my Procharger Big Red Race BOV's that I need to not surge the blower. Also have the nitrous kit for it sorted it out as well as the water box and pump for the water/air intercooler. Also have the fitting I need for the Fragola push lock lines I will be running. Since the last time I posted here a few things have been added like my M.I.A strutless aluminum drag wing. I've put my wheels and front runners on. Also have the setup to run the battery in the rear NHRA legal style.I can also say with all honesty that my attn. is split on other peopls cars as well as my passion for my SVO which seems to be getting alot of my attn. finishing my Dads '68 was huge too although I know deep down the Cobra should take presidence. The truth is this I'm done giving ideas on when its getting done. I know it's soon lol this time I mean it, it will atleast run. It may not be out racing but running for this moment is ok with me. I can promise a video soon of it loping and cogging and air and all kinds of things happening.Now here's my rant. Since I've started doing Empire seriously I get contantly people asking questions about people wanting to build cars like mine. Their attitude is HORSEPOWER **** YEAH. I'm here to tell you that is NOT the way to go into this, I sure did when I started and it;s take this long on order to realize better planning would have been better. YOu all need to realize that building an engine is just the tip of the iceberg when building a true race car. Anyways as always I''m here to help so regardless I'll do what I can to help. I have a few pics I can show =) I will do my best to keep this updated with actual updates i.e parts or work.<a href="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/knuckles4696/media/20131026_151525_zpse203bda0.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k171/knuckles4696/20131026_151525_zpse203bda0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/knuckles4696/media/438adfa0-6b12-470d-a082-42bc2dd19b40_zps1f3c222b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k171/knuckles4696/438adfa0-6b12-470d-a082-42bc2dd19b40_zps1f3c222b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/knuckles4696/media/20130924_180854_zps4190f713.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k171/knuckles4696/20130924_180854_zps4190f713.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/knuckles4696/media/20130924_180705_zpsfcc9063b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k171/knuckles4696/20130924_180705_zpsfcc9063b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/knuckles4696/media/20130924_180535_zps48e04b2a.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k171/knuckles4696/20130924_180535_zps48e04b2a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/knuckles4696/media/20130924_180400_zpseaa6f756.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k171/knuckles4696/20130924_180400_zpseaa6f756.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/knuckles4696/media/20130923_181900_zps4d74787e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k171/knuckles4696/20130923_181900_zps4d74787e.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>till next time, thanks for the love guys, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EmpireMtrs" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/EmpireMtrs</a> is at almost 350 likes were I will do another giveaway.
