Just straight and clean
Hi,
No stripes, no side pipes, no side vents, no hood scoop. Going for the classic European look.

Yet, twin rollbars 
Or will there be color keyed plugs for one side or both for now?

safety
Hi,
Not much protection in a cobra so rollbars help a bit. The Mrs wants them.

Sounds like you have a great combo going on! As I have stated many times here, a lot of the race drivers said they enjoyed the AC289 Sport the best for just driving hard for fun. I have semi converted a few of my British car friends who hate the S/Cs, by showing them 427-428 street cars and AC289 Sports all clean, they usually say, "now that looks more like a proper British car! If my small block MKII does not pan out, then one of the above cars will do just fine! Cheers, Dennis P.S. I just got a line on a AC Bristol powered Ace, I am going to call on it tomorrow. Part of me hopes I can afford it, part of me hopes I can't, if you know what I mean.

engine break in
I got the Mrs to step on the gas and look at oil pressure gauge while we ran the engine at 2200 rpm for 25 minutes 
Set the timing and added trans fluid.
No leaks!

Well that is just beautiful. But, if you or your passenger can easily tilt your head back and touch the roll bar please pad them.  |

And make sure you attach your shoulder harnesses to a cross bar mount on you roll bars.

Doesn't even have to be within easy reach. The forces involved in even a moderate shunt will help your head go the extra mile. And yep - she is a real looker!
