Thank you. My tunnel has some structural issues which I will now fix while doing the interior.

Hi Dwight,
I did not want to highjack Hank's thread with a 66 Fairlane question. But may I ask are you putting the TKO 600 in the 66 Fairlane? I purchased a 66 Fairlane in 1985 but later pulled the engine and transmission to put in the Cobra in 2000. Why? Because when I went to rebuild the engine in the late 90s it turned out to be a non-original 428. I am finally starting to restore the Fairlane with an 390 TE and I think TKO 600. Do you know if the Fairlane tunnel has to be modified for the 600 to fit? Thanks.

Dwight,

Do you still have the information on the aluminum radiator that you purchased for $325 from CGJ for a B&B car? Thinking about upgrading the unit in my car. I know that the original radiator is a 1977-78 mustang II unit. The couple I have found are a Griffin for about $625 from Summit and Wizard Cooling for $499.

Your wiring in Coachs roadster looks great. I am back working on my coupe with the AC stuff. There is not enough space to get it all in the dash. Still hope to get with you guys again before real winter gets here. Keep those info mails coming. Thanks, Ole Bob

Dwight, hello! I live in Huntsville and due to a recent health issue I have decided to pursue purchasing a Cobra replica. I live out west of Madison about 1/2 mile north of US72 off Old Railroad Bed Road. I would love to get connected with the local Cobra club. I could use some pointers on buying a replica Cobra and I haven't had a chance to actually drive one. Alan Weaver at Unique Motercars has hooked me up with a guy in Miami that has one of their cars for sale that I am looking at buying so any input from you all would be great. Feel free to email me direct or call at:

Dwight,

The hurricane is at Jeff Miller painting and the body is the roughest thing I have ever seen. Got a question for you and the guys, is anyone using Goodyear Billboard Tires on their cars? If, so pro and con? I need to buy tires in the next week or so and I need to make a decision.

Thanks and hope all is well.
Mike
