Hey



Obviously not much in the way of work being done at O/Lock.



The progress you have made is fantastic and the car looks even better.

The pearl just makes the 'Viper Blue' look great. Will have to get over and have a look.

You may be ready for the March run??

Will ring soon.

Thanks guys.
A lot of hard work and time spent already.
Many more to come. Should hopefully be finished
by April this year. Then the fun begins in trying to
pass engineers and Vicroads.
I will keep you informed on updates.


Gino.

Whoaaa... to see the Cobra up close was great. You sure are close to having it finished.

Just get Mr. Soprano's mate over to help you. He seems to have plenty of time available!!!

Thanks for organising the radio for my Cobra. I will put a new Thread on here about it in the next day or so. I agree ever Cobra owner should have one of these.

I think it will save me many dollars on the highway.

Did you notice I was the one who drove away without spinning wheels and leaving rubber.



I saw the Police van drive past......... ....lucky eh!!

Cheers

Gino,

I don't think even Vic Roads or an engineer could wipe that smile off your face. Looks awesome!

Your car looks fabulous. 514 ci. How much torque is that going to have. No one will get past for the smoke.

Hope all goes well with Vic RTA.

So many new Cobras, the Nationals are going to be great.

To smoke or not to smoke.................

Regards,

Phil

Hi Tony & Phil
I Don't know what the motor will do yet
i havn't started it.
I know one thing forshore i won't be smoking them up
to often at $650 per tyre.
If i have to replace the tyres often that smile won't last long.

Gino.

I thought I would do a "Bernie" and reply to all current threads. Checked out the pics Gino. Car looks great. Pity about the dodge-viper blue. Couldn't you have picked a better colour
