How are your ShelbyFest preparations going?

[LoBelly]

For me it has been a matter of dealing with the consequential changes of the engine upgrade

One of the first issues to strike was the inability of the factory supplied radiator to cope with the new engine

Old radiator was sloped back quite a bit


New custom built radiator (brass) has been stood up


The other pressing matter has been that with the taller intake manifold the rock filter didn't fit anymore.

Big mental obstacle on the first cut but kept it small ...

final nosejob


Paint (and everything else) will have to be for next year

As I write i have the engine sitting on a stand, the radiator out, the front suspension dismantled and the wiring looking like spagbol....its going to be close

OK for this year, I have upgraded the XXXXXX with a new faster XXXXXX, I have worn out my XXXXXXXX XXXXX so I am trying some new XXXXXX they get raves from those who use them.

To try to keep up with the performance mods I see coming up, I have done some work on the XXXXXX XXXXXX so I should get a little more XXXXXX from the XXXXXXX.

Tickets Booked, Can't wait.

Got to get a roll bar made up to protect the noggin, so just got to specify the right centres for the bars.

Anyone happen to know what the individual roll bar centres are on a G Force?

Car isn't going to be pretty or fast but it will be there, that's a good start for me!!

Mike,

that Cobra of yours is getting more authentic looking everyday!

If you are in Mumbai, go to Khyber or Marsala Kraft at the Taj... Really great food.

Cameron

[Aussie Mike]

Thanks Cameron. I'm in Bangalore at the moment but I'll be in Mumbai next week. I'll have to look up those resturants when I'm there.

Cheers

I'm sure there are plenty of other sites dedicated to 'upskirt' photos - and while in principle I have no particular objection to them being posted here your perchant for featuring a dude and his 'cobra' is somewhat disturbing ...

Too much vindaloo for you

Whilst sitting in the garage lowering the front of the car, so it looks a little less like a 4 x 4, managed to win the new Eagles CD off the local radio station.

I'll have to do this more often!! Win CD's that is!

Anyway, hope to cut out the roll bar holes tommorow and take up all the measurements to be able to sketch up a plan and then arrange bending.

Then just perhaps the remote kill switch pull wire I'd planned and I'm as done as I can be for the moment.

Whilst I think about it, how have you guys attached the kick panels generally?

I'd prefer the upholstry to all be fastened from behind to the timber panel backs and the various panels affixed by hidden attachments. How have the professionals attached the panels?

Cheers
