[QUOTE="slowgreycobra, post: 16821105, member: 87992"] Not really. The over 60+ days of 100 degree heat, and dropping a bunch of money on HVAC repairs have stalled me out for a while. My shop isn't complete so it does not have cooling. After having the Rona this summer, it killed my energy levels. It wasn't that bad, but I felt tired for the past few months after just an hour or two outside. It's only in the past month where I've been able to work for hours non-stop again. I have a few more things to do to get my Mach 1 on the road before I jump into the Cobra. I needed my welder for that work, and I finally bought a gas bottle. I've been working on some other project with the welder and it is nice to have almost no cleanup to do after a weld. The mach 1 will need a header tube cut out and moved, heat box studs replaced, driveshaft cut and welded, and part of the frame repaired. Then I can set up the rest of the car and get it out and driving. I'm not happy with the angle of the engine so I will probably need to do some work on the T5 transmission mount. The fan isn't parallel with the radiator and it was with the toploader. It's a few degrees off but it noticeable. What I have been doing is researching other engine builds, parts used etc to try to make sure I learn from others before jumping in and making mistakes. I've also finished a few gun kit builds while hanging out inside. I've had a few projects languishing for years which are now done or close to done. [/QUOTE]
