Greetings from Arizona
Just bought AC Cobra I found sitting outside for last few years, last tagged in 06.

Dark Blue Metallic with white stripes
American Mag wheels w BFGoodrich tires
Kit by Advance Classics (Los Angeles
429 Ford engine w 13 Qt oil pan, double oil filters

I towed car home and spent several days cleaning out pack rats, cleaning fuel system, install battery and got car to run. Now I'm redoing fuel system, Moved fuel pump out of trunk, I'm now bending new, all metal fuel lines from tank to pump, then up to front of car. also made new dual feed lines for Holley carb, have new tires on order, I have several weeks of clean up and spruce up to get car looking better and do PM service to make it ok to drive.

Greetings from Arizona
Thanks for having me around,
Rick, Not a problem with wife and new Lady in the house, I'm a lucky man, She works in parts store so all my normal parts are at 10% above cost. And she's dying to drive it! and she will. Plus we have about 8 other HOTRODS sitting here at present. SHE LOVES OLD CARS!!!!!!! and puts up with me! Now if I could win the lottery I'd have it made! Jay

WAAAY cool find, Jay!
As for posting photos, I found that a free account at Photobucket dot com works quite well. You'll upload your photos from your computer and once they are on Photobucket, click on "edit" and change them to medium size, then copy and paste the IMG code into your post, your photos will appear in the post on the forum.
After all, this IS important, b/c...
Cheers from Dugly

Got to go to DMV to tag it, without emissions I hope. Jay

Not in the 12 or so years I've been into this but there have been a lot of these companies that have come & gone, over the years.

Its insured, tagged without emission, and I'm driving it some, ran into one problem. it doesn't want to rev into higher RPM"s off stop. I went thru it several times and everything checked out ok. Plugs are black as carb is running to rich. Today as I was working on it, it came to me to drive it without air filter lid in place. problem solved, new air filter assemble won't flow enough air. I'm headed to Don's Hot Rod shop in the morning to see if they have a set up I can use. My wife, BJ, brought home a "Spectre Catalog" tonite and there are a couple that might work in it, It will be a very tight fit between hood, carb, and body. Jay
PS: Nothing that would fit at Hot Rod Shop, Will have to continue the search. Jay
