Removed the fuseable link between the alternator and the starter. Replaced it with a Maxi-fuse. I saw a video of the fuseable links burning like sparklers. I didn't think that was good to have in the engine bay with fuel and fiberglass.

Installed the twist latches for the door glass. Made a teflon stopper to make up the depth difference. Really nice small piece. Can be locked if necessary. Brand is UNDERCOVER CLASSIC. #( RSAS1002CL ). Hope that's helpful to someone. Not easy to find the right piece sometimes.
BTW. These are not brand new. I took them off an old lid for an f150 pick up and the white knob is the teflon piece I added. |
I ordered Avons!!! Can't wait for Spring!!!

Removed expensive custom stereo installation from the 90s. The car provides it's own awesome sounds - thank you!

Removed heads for a re-seal and inspection. Did some general cleaning with a HOSE in February!?!?! This MN weather has been great lately.

Hello Ang,
where did you get those slightly oversized roll bar bezels? thanks |
I discovered a leaking braided fuel line at the fitting to the secondary bowl on the Holley carb. I removed it yesterday and had a new one made today. Took all of 2 minutes to replace it. Usually even a simple fix like this turns into a full blown project. Surprisingly this didn't.......

What I dis
Rebuilt my 428fe

Roll bar bezels: Cut them from cardboard, handed them off to my friend Marco with the CNC and he cut them out for me.

I really like your green car, it looks beautiful in street trim.
I've been polishing the aluminum in the trunk on my car....it's not a fun job. |

It's a simple thing but added sox to breathers as under high rpm they do drip oil.
This cleans things up. Next, change alternator to single plug style. |
Jeff,
Looks good. Those should be effective. That dripping of oil under high rpms is why in vintage racing we have to run hoses back to a catch can to capture any oil so that it does not end up on the track. |
Drove my Cobra for the first time
I got to drive my home built Cobra after an almost two-year build, the car still needs paint and I am going to do some reinforcement on the frame.
I picked up the car in 2015, it was frame, body, engine and a few boxes of parts. The car is powered by a 352 4V out of a 1959 TBird coupled to a T5WC, I switched out the original Ford 8" for a Jaguar POSI 3.30 rear end. It’s quite a blast to drive and so much fun after all that elbow grease. http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/t...59edbceb4c.jpg http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/IMG_3294.jpg http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/IMG_3531.jpg http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/IMG_3349.jpg https://youtu.be/1TWfrGwTHIw |
I'm waiting for my Ken Miles Racing seat from Steve Sunshine ...... (smile)
