Hello Sawdust
My name is Frank just joined the Cobra Club, love your car it looks great, was looking for some input on building a Type 65 Daytona Coupe in the near future, do you have any recommendations on the manufacturers who build this particular car, I have been looking at the Factory 5 version since I returned from the Barrett Jackson car Auction in Scottsdale. Just for curiousity where North of Toronto are you I would love to see your car and chat in person, I am in Thornton just south of Barrie, On

Thanks Frank Pucar

the engine turned 537 on the dyno and 500 lbs of torque. I would say that it purrs like a kitten, but a more apt statement is it growls like a mountain lion. I will go on a final tune if the temperature tomorrow goes past 60 degrees. It definitely needs new tires though. I am putting on some Mickey Thompson ET II for better grip.

Supposition on my part, but I think he has grown so much that he spread his self to thin, and was just not personally involved in the project and did not check the work of his people. It was not honorable however to shove me under the rug and not address problems that were created by his employees. It cost me approximately 18,000 more to pull the engine and have a ring job done, and reinstalled and now to have it properly tuned by someone who cares. A mans warranty is only is good as his word, and in this particular case he was unwilling to honor the money I spent with him and fix the problems caused by his employees. I will say it again, Keith can build a good engine, but if he does not have a hands on policy on his installs, then I could not recomend the work of his employees to anyone.

Forgive me. The Kirkhams are fastidious about their customer care and produce a quality product. I meant to say Keith of Keith Craft Engines. He makes a good engine, but HIS WORKERS DID A LOUSY INSTALL ON MY CAR. I was so proud of the Kirkham, that I did an interior like I have seen on some of the bentleys and rolls. There was nothing wrong with the interior that came in the Kirkham. Woodwork is what I do for fun. I had never done an interior on a car and thought it would be a challenging project.

Well, I did not get to take my drive Tuesday. The dyno tuning is finished though, and it shows 537 hp at the wheels and 500 torque. If the weather warms up, we will get to finish tuning while I drive. Either way, its almost done.

Thanks Stu - my car (#1965) was shipped from South Africa in December of 2003 and delivered in March of 2004. I currently have 22.5K miles (of smiles) on it.

I used a similar picture for the 2011 calendar and one with the Golden Gare Bridge in the background for 2012. It photographs well with some Golden Light.
