( my birthday is coming up on the 27th. paint would be a sweet gift :MECOOL: ) |
:) :) :) :)
Terry, When I went back and saw what you were refering to I did start to chuckle a little :) But then I read your last post that DID crack me up-Diane is going to have to sweep me up and "bag me"! DV PS. Making the hood latches now......... |
DV/capteddie,
I did not remember that you were putting an automatic trans in your Cobra. What last post that cracked you up:confused: Terry |
Terry,
I guess I was giggeling so hard I didn't notice it WAS Ed's post and NOT yours. Ooopppps! DV |
How come there looks like there are 2 throttle cables? Is that something to do with the auto transmission??
|
O.F.M.,
Yes, top cable is actually throttle, the bottom one is the "kickdown" cable. When Ed pushes the throttle down so...far the C-6 will automatically drop to the next lower gear or into 1st. (Of course we know he will never need to do that! :) ) DV http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...own_cables.JPG |
This is how I put in the external latches. Picture 1 shows the original shaft cut and a twist that puts the 'foot' where I want it when the hood is closed. If you don't put a twist in it (heat-vice grips and a vise) when the hood is closed the handle will never be pointed correctly!
Hope these help who ever is installing these type of latches. (The lower bracket is +/- 1/8th inch strap steel x 1" and bent into the large 'U', then is fiberglassed in place, when dried I drill one hole through the body on each end of the strap then I use 10-32 scres and nuts to also hold it in place.) http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d..._B-w-twist.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...od_latch_A.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...er_latch_D.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...tches_0011.jpg http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...tches_0021.jpg DV |
DV,
Everything OK? You've been kinda quite. I'll be coming over to your place on Saturday the 28th. Should be at your place around 11ish. Cheers!! |
Fella,
I thought you disappeared yourself? Everything is good here, temps are getting in to the work zone by 2 PM< or so :( . How about the following weekend? Any problem with that? DV |

So Saturday the 4th of April works better for you? That's fine for me. I head over on the 4th. Ordered a Serpent Express trailer last Friday :3DSMILE: Its all aluminum and is about 6 to 8 weeks before its ready to be picked up. See you in 2 weeks. Let me know if you need anything!!! :3DSMILE: |
Great,
Unless you make a good Santa Claus OR a good weather man :) I don't ned anything. If you get that trailer before the 4th (I know unlikely) bring it with you and I'll park it here for awhile. If you still want to bring a passenger, they're welcome too! DV |

The trailer is all aluminum like this one. Dark blues fabric with 2 white strips :3DSMILE:
I also got it 16' in length. That way it could hold.... say a mustang if needed ;) http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...nt_express.jpg |
or two cobras perhaps...

Cpteddie,
Question; I just finiahed sanding the engine compartment wheel tubs. I'll put a little filler in to seal the factory seems, but.............. Do you want them painted as they came...semi black? Or, as I do most of the custome cars I do, paint them the color of the car? Heck for all I care what color you choose, how about pink !? :D DV PS Stipes first though |
DV
You can paint them the same color as the car. By the way.... no pink was planned in the finsh %/ |
Thanks for the thread
Just wanted to take a sec to thank everyone involved with this thread.... with a special thanks to DV of course. I've just started my build of an older Classic Roadster and I'm sure all the tips included here will be priceless.
My roadster kit has had two previous owners, neither of whom started the build. It's taken me over a year to collect most of the missing components... but thanks to me receiving most of what I ordered from GLR, and by purchasing some key parts here on this forum, I have most of what I need. Thanks again. |
M.C.,
Thank you and I hope it works/helps you, but if you have been around for awhile you know my first question for 'new' guys is........ MSO, MSO, MSO? Heavons I hope so! DV |
No I don't.
This was originally a deal breaker for me until I talked to the Secretary of State's office (actually two of them) here in Michigan. They gave me the forms I will need to fill out, as well as "The instructions for Titling an Assembled Vehicle" (form BFS-72). They convinced me that not having the MSO was not a deal breaker, but I needed a signed letter from the previous owner that the MSO had been lost. They told me that the people that have problems are the ones that wait until they have the car completed and then find out what they should have done to document it, i.e., not only having signed receipts for wheels, engine, trans, etc. but also addresses and phone numbers of sellers (as is required). Anyway, I am keeping an aptly titled MSO file, which includes everything I have so far except for an MSO. There's no way my cobra is going to turn into an expensive flower pot. If I do have major issues with getting a title, I'll just use it for racing.... Regards, and thanks again for your input to this forum. |
MC,
That is great news! :D Looked at your profile and it didn't have the state (?) listed. Where in Meeechigan are you? And one of the great deals about this state (and right now there are few and far deals) is the fact that Mi. is one of the few states that don't need an MSO! Well done, guess I wont have to send you any potted plants! It is exciting that -1- we have another new CR build going on and -2-your in Meeechigan no less! DV PS-Motorcity....hhmmmm :) ? |
