Ron,
Imagining. Think again. My info on these cars comes directly from people that were there at the time working on Cobras and preparing comp cars for races. Additionally, they have done some of the best restorations and have collaborated directly with Brian Angliss on many projects. Although my knowledge on the Cobra is supplemented by published books, the people that interact with me on this have educated me far beyond the published accounts and photos. They lived these cars in the 60s and have huge stacks of photos that I have had the opportunity to look through. If you would prefer that I don't pass along what I learn from them that is beyond the pictures you guys have found in books then I will be happy stop posting.
And, yes, the cap has just been removed from the box, although it is more of a paper bag type thing than a box, and will soon no longer be NOS when the first screw goes through it.
