Looking good DV...

Sent you a PM about the drive shaft and the tubing.

Let me know if there's anything else you need. Have a good weekend and don't work to much. People are starting to comment on our work habits

[James Stern]

Don't you guys ever sleep? Captain Eddie you really should rest the back & DV you just need to rest! It's getting to the exciting part in the build but I'd rather see the both of you in good health to enjoy the finish.

Buddy,
My sleep patttern is as normal as ever, it sucks but it is normal. I did make a mistake though, I lost a day, thought this was Saturday- DUH! Actually aiming for a late afternoon startup on Saturday. Just my normal work day,

John,
ME turn away a Cobra!? Cpteddie must still be cracking up.over that one. In all honesty there isn't enough Cobras to build! The only thing I do different now since I am retired is I have (per my wife) cut down from 7 to 12 to one or two plus maybe a street rod to keep things interesting.

What filler cap are you referring to? I've been trying for a couple of months now to get caught up enough to remold the Lemans cap filler, is that the one you need?

If you have time come on up Sat. Cpteddie will be here and if I have (and should have) his drive shaft here in time, I want to fire it up for him since he will be here too.

In all seriousness, I could start your painting in November but I will need the frame for a couple of days as I Install the body, match all the parts and especially the doors to the frame then pull it all apart again. Frame can then go into storage or go back home until the body is painted.

Cpteddie, I think those three points are going to be right on time!

John, the oil cooler is a Finishline model, not any special brackets. I cut and welded in a piece of straight steel 3"x12 +/-, welded it in the frontal area, then when I mount the body build the aluminum shield around the inlet. I'll re-install giving the cooler a solid place to be bolted in. You don't even need to drill and tap, simple chrome/stainless 1/4x20 bolts work great.

LOL!!!

I didn't think you'd be back on tonight.... And yes I was laughing my A$$ off.

John. Please don't take this the wrong way. I think I kinda kicked DV out of his chair and back into the cobra building business. Not sure if he really knew what I was getting him into, but I do know he's had a good time so far and I think there are a lot of people who have benefited from him sharing his knowledge here. Hell we have over 14K views on this thread.

He's right. If you can make the trip up on Saturday, I don't think you'd be disappointed. He's done an unbelievable job on my car, adding things I would never of thought of and also steering me away from some bad decisions (and believe me, I've made some).

I'm leaving from work on Friday and will get close to his place and find a room. I'll be at DVs early on Saturday and leave around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Seeing my car might give you some insight into whats to come.

DV.... Tell the wife its not my fault

See you Saturday!!!!!

[johnbcomp]

Yes, the Lemans cap, was conserned that the cap filler was now longer available, sounds like you have that under control!!!

Can not make it this weekend, have work to do at the lake house in NE Indiana before closing for the winter.

Will call and talk tomorrow. Will drag the Rolling Chassis out and send pictures for you to see, then you can let me know what needs to be completed before hauling to you. This will allow you to let me know how much this might cost!!!!

Was going to try to complete all Body and Paint myself, used to own a BS, but I have been telling myself that for about 8 Years, would like drive it a little while I can still remember that I have a Cobra..............

Thanks for the help!!!

Steve = johnbcom Ok....

Steve,

If your talking about the flip cap itself, check this out.

If your talking about the fiberglass fuel well that gets mounted into the rear fender? Then talk to DV. I think he made a mold of mine, so he can replicate them as needed.

[johnbcomp]

Yes, I am talking about the Fiberglass, and knew of the Flip Cap @ finishline. Thanks for the reply!!

Steve

[capteddie]

If you don't here back from DV about the fiberglass spillage well before Saturday, I'll mention it to him when I see him.

[Double Venom]

Uh, I know about it, been a little busy building some guys Cobra I have the Buck made, just need the time to clean it up and start "Splashing" copies.
DV

[Double Venom]

John, (?)
If this is any help, it is a picture looking straight down on cpteddies oil cooler. I think what brackets you may be seeing in the original picture are part of the brackets I made to hold his radiator in.

[Double Venom]

Cpteddie some more for you!
Roll bars came in too-now if we can get the Chinese to let go of some steel! Winter Project: Although these are #10's they fit loose, to really make em look good have a machine shop take off 3/32's on each half and re-assemble, then they will be perfect. Also if they have a #10/#6 combo that would be perfect!

[capteddie]

Ok DV...

Heading for MI right after work today. Will get close to your place (probably Muskegon) and get some dinner, along with a room for the night. I should be at the shop around 9-9:30 Saturday morning.

Looking forward to seeing our baby!!!!

[Double Venom]

cpteddie,
In all honesty, the Mrs. thinks it's silly to drive all the way to Muskegon and get so close and spend a night in a motel. Another 40 minutes and you can be here and spend the night, you certainly aint gonna be the first Cobra guy to spend a night with us!

Company may not be great but Chrissy is friendly! Assuming you will eat supper on the road, what do you want for breakfast?

Of course if you want your privacy I understand that too.
DV

[capteddie]

Well DV....

Thanks for the offer. You and I have since spoke on the phone and you know what's going on

Keep me posted on our baby and let me know if you need anything. Back surgery is scheduled for the 19th of September, so you probably will not be seeing me in person until the middle of October

[capteddie]

OK DV...

We're looking good!!!!

Going to get a good nights sleep and....

See you tomorrow!!!!
