Nothing going on with my Shell Valley. Been at the painter since November 2021 and it still isn’t done yet. Every excuse from being short handed, to everyone has Covid, to other issues took priority.
I now live vicariously thru other cobra builds.

Ten months at the painters? That makes no sense at all.

Waiting to hear when Roush will have the 427SR built for my Superformance MKIII. At least the car is here in the States now….

Whats your car number?

Made 1 of the 2 aluminum bands to go around the SS screen today for the wheel well vents. I decided to roll the outside edge of the band to cover the edge of the SS screen behind it. So I made a hardwood jig to evenly roll the edge all around with a hammer. Will probably do the actual installation over the winter, but will have everything ready to install. Also made templates of everything for future use if people like them. Will post a photo when they are finished.

We see some beautiful and powerful engines on this forum but it after watching the David Vizard Performance YouTube channel it seems like we could get matching performance with better and more economically running engines for all sorts of reasons including poorly designed cams, badly matched and selected and ported heads and inlets etc etc.

One of my dreams would be to collaborate with David on an engine for my Cobra - alas it will never happen.

I’m doing another Wiring Diagram for the Grand Sport and working on a new project, some wheel-well vents near the headers.

My high school class just had it's 50 year reunion - it was anything but quiet. LOL

Brian, my 50th is next year, if I have anything to do with it, it will not be QUIET. Missed my 40th, but made the 35th, bought my XKE coupe. (Voted coolest car @ the Reunion) We had a small class (Less than 100) but most were cars guys. Lots of Mustangs, Z-28 or 2, 440 Roadrunner, and of course me in a 62 Dodge Dart 6cyl, 3-speed, but had ET mags, and glass pack This coming year, they will hear me before they see me I wonder how many will show-up in their COBRAS?? Not many is my bet. My high school girlfriend thought the Jag was pretty cool (I was married then, not now) wondering what she will think of the Cobra, she was still very pretty, 15years later, here's hoping But, but the best one was our 20th, Drove in my full-on 240z race car, open exhaust, race tires, gutted int. full rollcage. Unloaded it a couple blocks away, my Wife practiced getting out the car with a dress on (Didn't go well ) She was a Trooper, I'll give her that. Did a donut or two, and PARTIED like it was 1999, in 1993 Good time Kids.

We had nearly 400 in my graduating class. Percentage-wise, we had more teachers from 1972 show up then students. Bizarre.

I showed up for the school tour in the Cobra. Fashionably late, in fact - which unintentionally worked out quite well.

The assembled throng was in front of the school, waiting for the tour to start, when I rolled up alongside them, blipped the throttle and backed into a parking stall and climbed out. Got a few chins wagging over that entrance.

Our 50th is this weekend, we are celebrating 2 years later due to Covid. I was on the event planning committee. (I supplied music) We limited the attendees to 100 and barely got that.i realized that it’s the same weekend as the last Road America event... so I’ll be at the track!
Great to see some replies to this thread. Anyone with winter upgrades in the planning stage?

High School, you do remember that Right, Glen, something you did in 40's I have a hard time remembering anything about the late 60's/early70's, just a "Hazy memory"

Working on my hi tech build. I built the 428 a couple weeks ago. Engine/trans driveline and loop installed. Brakes and Brake plumbing and suspension almost done. Oil cooler lines next and then I will put the body back on to make the aluminum pieces.

[Malgyver]

I started my build thread, over on the Hurricane site. I'll copy and paste it to the build forum here.

I got kicked out for eatten the pages from the books and pulling on the girl's pig tails!

[Alfa02]

I expected nothing less than you're come back, Glen, you didn't disappoint So Buddy, what are you doing while the FIA Sit's and wait's too?? You could have come to the Shelby Museum and had the "Perk's" Karl got. Now I have to Mow (Steve Volk) & (Allen Grant) yards for a month to pay for my favors for Karl Next Year maybe??

Finally got those wheel-well vent screens fabricated. Ended up being ever so short on the SS screen mesh. So a project conceived to use up some remaining materials I had in the garage ended up with a ride into Wisconsin to get more SS screen mesh. And since I was there a few other odds and ends. I now have more stuff in the garage than when I started.

BTW: 50th reunion went well I’m told. Saw some photos, lots of old people there I don’t know? And only 1 post reunion case of Covid so far.
