Glen any time frame, with filling the BIG hole in the front  If I remember correctly, it was around Christmas last year, we started talking about it  Really like the rear shock treatment, leave it to you buddy boy to add your special touches, even the Lucas third light looks period correct. Back in the "OLD DAYS" we FF/SR (Formula Fords/Sports Racers) mounted our Rain lights high on the roll bars, for the same reason. My new car is ready for this next year's outing, Moto-Lita wheel is installed, and found a pair of NOS Lucas PL-700 lights (Thanks again Greg @ My427Cobra) Cheers My Friend TommyRot. |

Hi Tom,
Filling the big hole…. yes, my man has been dragging his feet big time. It’s now in the hands of someone who is a little more enthusiastic and more has been achieved in a week than in the previous three months. Indication is that the engine should be ready in a couple of weeks. The car will then go onsite into its own little bay for the engine and trans. to be installed.
I’ll report in again when there is more info.
Merry Christmas all!
Cheers,
Glen

Greetings, and happy New Year to all here on CC!
So, I have a list to work through while the engine work is being done.
All those little things that have been put off ('til now) because they are small and irritating (and not "glamorous")
This is an important one, and I thought I had done it already ....but no, had not....
Earth wire from fuel filler to chassis:
Cheers!
Glen

Got some fuel lines here in a vulnerable position, needing some 'love' ....
So here's the solution, made up using my fancy bender (two pieces of hardwood decking, a couple of F-clamps, and my bench vice) ....
Cheers!

LHS felt unloved too, so got the 'treatment'
Should stop some stone damage, maybe... 
Cheers!

The RHS solution looks like a nice example of aluminum origami. The button head screws & PEM nuts, aligned with the rivets, is a clean look and serviceable should that be necessary in the future. As usual, elegant work Glen. |

Origami it certainly is, Tim. That panel probably took me around 8 hours, start to finish; much trimming, and tweaking in the "vise bender " 
It's satisfying work, though .....and what else would I be doing on a hot Saturday?
Cheers!
