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.

Ed,

Someone has to do it ;)


"Da Bunnies" (tm) state "no comment" at this time :rolleyes:


Bill S.

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.

I saw them - thanks.:)

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 :D 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.

Mr Mustang (AKA Uncle Bill :) ), 767Jockey...., camera came in late yesterday.
Thank you fella, I found a replacement part for mine on the Internet, hope to get it repared this month. I'll send you yours back as soon as I get mine fixed!

Hi All,

We had $300 in additional donations come in at the end of last year, and I thought I would update everyone:

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: $4,638

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: $1,688

Plus all of the parts and services contributed.

I can't wait to see this car on the road!

Happy New Year everyone! :)

Ed,

keep it as a back up.

What is the latest status on this project?

I guess as soon as some of those hard-to-find AA batteries are located...we'll see some pics.

:p

I forgot to send instructions, I'll post them here:

1: Open USPS package and located camera within, making sure to only use the plastic safety scissors that you borrowed from the nursery school across the street.
2: Once you have opened the package and located the camera,open flap "A" marked "battery enclosure".
3: Look at pretty picture embossed on battery compartment lid, place correctly sized "AA" batteries in their proper orientation and close lid.
4: Located power button on top surface of camera and push button once, green light will appear showing camera is now on.
4a: If power light does not come on, open battery enclosure and switch the orientation of the batteries as you must not have paid attention to instruction line #3.

Now,and this is very important,

5: remove camera lens cover
6: Make sure to point camera lens towards item to be photographed (caution, make sure LCD screen is not pointed away from your body, otherwise you will take wonderful pictures of your eye and/or face)
7: With camera properly oriented towards object to be photographed, push button on top of camera to the right of the on/off button to snap a shot of the item.
8: Congratulations, you have now taken a picture, pat yourself on the back, grab a beer,and sit back and take a break as these lessons can over tax your cerebral cortex.



Hope you find this helpful.

Any news on the process? How is it coming along?

I also have 1 more thing. I got my hands on 3 VERY sweet Cobra logos, for the front hood. I would love to donate 1 of them, if needed.

Michael

Michael,

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. However the car has all the emblems already on it. Again, I really do appreciate your generous offer. Thanks!

Doug

Ed (DV),

Pictures?

Has the build completion started?

I have been watching this hoping that Ed Combs (DV) would chime in. Come to think of it, I have seen nothing at all from him in weeks. Hoping he is OK !! ??


.

Hmmm, perhaps he took the DCDoug escrowed funds and made a run for the Caymans?:rolleyes:

Doug,

If you want it, anyway, it is yours. This is a special old school emblem (the seller bought them back in the 1971 so they might be original Cobra emblem). He saved them, so they are NOS parts :) That is why I bought the 3 he had :) So if you want it, it is yours :)

Michael,
You just gave me an idea......PM on the way.;)
