Tinman: Can you post any pictures of your neat driving lights inside the rad opening? In particular the mounts used for them? Thank you.

Tim, here is another spycam view of the driving lamps. I do not have details or pictures of the brackets, I'll get them and send you a pm.

That's a cool picture and an interesting look; kind of looks like the in-board lights on the early 67 Shelby Mustangs. |

Nice lights
Hey John - I agree, nice lights. Just like the black wheels (elsewhere) have gained a small following, you could be a trendsetter with those lights.
What are they? They look 'period'.
Cheers,
Glen

Hi Tim, here is another close up of the lamps, the brackets are in the back and you can make out the shape if you do a close up zoom. I will ask Erick Voss for a copy of the sketch he made for these brackets and pm them to you.
Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man

Glen claims to be from SA, but he sounds like he's from over where you work Tin...
At least the light casings appear to be matching brack  !

Glen, I have asked the installer for the specs and he told me they were from the 2007 Mustang, they are driving lights and made out of plastic. I am still waiting for the part number. Cheers, John

Tim, Sorry for the late reply, could not get a drawing from the installer since they were one off so next best thing is this picture showing a three way mounting set up. Looks like a very simple application. Hope this helps.
BTW I got a date for reclamation of the car. December 12th, all the fixes are in and the car is getting some miles put on it. Hooray. 
Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man.

Tinny, there is a DMV on Bell Rd right by Sun City West. It has a Surprise address.
Surprise MVD of Surprise, Arizona - MVD Office Location, Appointment Information and Hours of Operation at DMV.org: The Surprise MVD Made Simple
Go in with your bill of sale and tell them it is a replica of a 1965 Shelby cobra made by Superformance. Show them your build plate in the engine compartment. Don't volunteer any information unless asked. They may do a level 1 safety inspection. Belts, wipers, turn signals, lights. For the most part, they don't know what to do, so they fidget and call a supervisor who uses part of your build plate numbers as the vin.
I assume you have a current AZ drivers license.
AZ Bob

Great looking lights there Tinny. I try not to drive at nighttime. Old eye don't see well in the dark and all the lights have halos.

Auto what?!?!
Tin-man congrats on a nice ride...
I particularly like the way you've made that auto-shift look like it belongs.
Sticking a "girly"  automatic shift in the cockpit behind a 511BB was going to be a tough sell. But to your credit it looks great, and I'm nearly sold. 
Well... I did say "nearly". I need the 3rd pedal.
It makes me feel more like a bear chested hairy man! 
Best wishes, |

Well thanks, the issue is I have big feet and the pedals on a regular manual set up caused me grief when I was in the selection mode. Dunno about the girlie thing, but I am told there is an edge in the quarter mile for the auto tranny vs the manual, don't know, not done that yet but will sure find out.
Also I am reckoning when I am tearing up the hiway making all that noise, knowbody will know its and auto, they'll just be blown away with the lit tires, sorry tyres, as I fly by.
BTW do the guys from OZ and particularly those from Victoria, drive their Cobras, bare, sporting that hairy look? If they do, that be fair dinkum I reckon, each to their own. How about the guys in Perth, they into the buff stuff? 
Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man

The question was a parody on words and besides those OZ guys are as tuff as nails, so they want to drive bare ass sporting a hairy chest, I for one am sure not going to stop them. That said, it goes along with driving a car with a bonnet and a boot, huh? 
OZ guys, apologies for taking the Mickey.

In fact all the little things you've done different have come out much better than my minds eye could ever have pictured. |

Dimis, thanks, I'll get the supplier/price information on the black oil hose connectors and post the details.

Hey Tinner,
Nice ride, looking forward to see it in CB.
Suggestion for Title registration.
I used the Glendale MVD, when I had mine registered.
They have a regular bay with lifts and other things for inspection.
MVD in Surprise does not have this and might send you to the Glendale facility.
Address: 16380 N 59th Street Glendale AZ, just a little south of Bell Ave.
As per Bob have all your papers ready, and 30 Day temp tag, which you can get from
the MVD Internet Site, I think for a Dollar or so.
Be there at 7:00 AM they open at 8:00 AM, so you will be the first, they work very, very slow,
with lots of coffee breaks
Good Luck
