Björn liked post by DougD On thread : stripes on front fender

Once they adopted the same body color for all the team cars, the cars were difficult to tell apart out on the track. In the days before radio communication between the drivers and crews, team stripes...

Jdata liked post by DougD On thread : Best way to adjust rear coil overs for proper height on my SPF

At the risk of adding further gasoline to this fire, I think it's not a bad idea at all to corner weight a home built car. Several posters have compared or questioned whether a Porsche or a Mustang...

1985 CCX liked post by DougD On thread : Emblem/Badge On Factory Valve Covers ?

Certainly most think so. But period photos are out there showing none. So, like everything else in the Shelby American arena, there are no absolutes.

Your body has two of several things. You can make do without one of them, and still get along. But for the things of which you have one, protection is a must! Go full face.

CompClassics liked post by DougD On thread : Door Hinge Covers are junk!

I finally got some time to permanently mount the fiberglass door hinge covers on my CSX. Figured I'd press them on, drill a couple holes in each one for some screws, and be done. What a couple of...

RodKnock liked post by DougD On thread : Ordered a Superformance Cobra, trying to make some decisions.

I have to smile at all the talk about losing a few HP with different air cleaners. If you have 500 or so horses on tap, as many here do with a typical FE build, you already have more HP than you...

NewYorkGuy liked post by DougD On thread : The magnesium elephant in the room

I don't believe the utter silence on this. People (you know who you are) have been *****in' and whinin' for years that no one will come through and actually produce true mags. So now Fran steps up,...

I have noticed a disturbing trend, and I've decided to try to help. There are apparently Cobra owners out there that are financially unable to care for their cars properly. Many scrimp and save for...

427 Street liked post by DougD On thread : Pro vs Con Re: CSX and Superformance/ERA

For me, it would be CSX, ERA, and then Superformance. In the world of fiberglass repliCobras, the CSX is alone at the top of the heap. Just look at the resale prices. No other glass car comes...

I can vouch for Fran as well. Not that my 2 cents means anything. But I can tell you that he is an honorable man and won't cheat you out of your deposit. I have bought several high-dollar parts from...

Beautiful car. A work of art, undoubtedly. But I'd still paint it Guardsman Blue.:)
