    ok, so i finally jumped in and started my longtube install. it's been fairly easy so far. got all the suspension and the k-member off, h-pipes off and when i have the next day off, i will remove the manifolds. i figure i should replace all the bushings since its all apart, motor mounts too...

    this should be fun!

    ok-so what was really so bad about the 74-78 mustang/cobra II that it should shunned as it is? was it the decals,interior or just poor quality all around? after all it did have a 302 so it should have been quick for a small car. just curious:shrug:

    safest way to get under car

    in the absence of a lift, how do you guys support your vehicle to get under it? 2 jackstands and your good to go? i'm a little shy about crawling under there so if there's any other suggestions i'd like to hear them:beer: this is for a longtube install if that helps or changes anything

    old guys and the internet

    looking at the age thread/pole clearly shows the vast majority of those visiting this site are under 30. does this mean that cobra owners tend to be on the younger side of 30 or us older guys don't usually frequent web forums? please discuss:banana::beer::beer::beer:

    morbid thought

    how many cobras do you guys think get racked up/parted out each year? percentage wise? i mean 3088 cobra verts were made in 97,so in 11 years time how many would possibly be left? i'm a little superstitious:loser: so i thought about this for awhile but have been afraid to bring it up.
