Since it's been awhile, I thought I would update everyone on the funds we've raised so far and how they have been spent:
Total raised to date: $4,338
Distribution of funds to date: $2,950
$1,000 to Acton Custom for work done/being completed
$275 to DV to rent a trailer for car transport
$1,675 to 767Jockey to have on hand to pay for heads/other parts when he finds the right deal(s) - unspent as of now
Total balance remaining in account: $1,388
Plus LOTS of parts contributed.
You guys are all outstanding.

I made a contribution to Doug's build fund today after reading some of the posts regarding this effort. I'm new to the fourm and the Cobra world; I enjoy my car so much I just coundn't sit back and do nothing. Good luck with the build and I wish Doug a speedy and complete recovery.

Just to keep up with Doug's post/information, in case you hadn't heard, Doug's Cobra is here- safe and sound! I have two jobs that I have to finish before I get into Doug's Cobra. One is major and will be working on Doug's at the same time. The other one is minor-putting in a frame rail for our Ford guy, Bobbie, in a Capri. Got to keep your Ford Mechanic happy
I hope to show all the parts that we have by this weekend. I plan on taking a video and putting it on You Tube. Too many for individual photo's!
One thing I know DOUG would like is a authentic type SIDE MOUNT E-BRAKE ASSEMBLY WITH CABLES, BRACKETS.
Anybody possibly have one....OR know who carry's them? |

I have two very rare Cobra-Ferrari Wars T-shirts. One is red the other white. Both are XL and new. A good friend knew Mike Shoen quite well and was given the shirts years ago. Will sell to highest bidder for Doug. I will pay shipping in US. Email me for pictures. Won't upload to my gallery. They should be worth at least 50.00 each to someone into memorabilia. John

Sorry for the huge lag in Photo's/video. Seems my Olympus camera committed a Hail Mary! The LCD screen went out, leaving only a bright white screen. Still takes pictures, I tried without a 'viewfinder', downloaded to the computer only to realize very quickly that didn't work!
Soon as I get another camera (?) I'll start posting on Doug's car!

Ed,
Thanks for the effort to post the pictures. Unfortunately the only camera I am left with is in my telephone, or I'd send it to you.

That's the kind of guy Bill is. I'm glad that he was able to sell/keep his car local and now he can go after the 289.

Did you guys ever find a set of heads for the project??
I noticed on the "For Sale" banner ads at the top of the forum that RestoCreations has a set of Edelbrock heads for sale for $1400:

Didn't know if these fit within the budget you had left for the car. |

Doug is watching every penny that has been allocated him! The Heads look good but the price, although probably well worth it is still a little steep.
"Da bunnies!", we need "Da Bunnies"!
Someone DOES have to do it |

Ed,
"Da Bunnies" are always watching  Camera went out in this mornings mail. My advice is to buy a lot of AA batteries, and this things likes to eat them up.
