Cobra Completion Fundraiser for 767Jockey

Doug, Etc.,
Rick apparently has his truck fixed and I assume his warranty work on his trailer done. We are now shooting for the 15th of November. We both have full 1 ton 4x4 duallies so small to minor snow fall shouldn't bother either one of us. My only concern is the North West Michigan Grand Rapids to Pentwater area will be passible hauling a trailer that time of year. We'll see.....??

Ed (DV) is the Ship date of 11/15 still on.

All involved, . . . . How are things progressing with funds, parts, etc etc. I believe that Doug (767Jockey) is looking into Edelbrock heads. The heads and the shipping of the car itself will be the biggest hit to his fund. Hope people are still reading this thread and donating to the cause if they have not done so already.

What are the chances of having the car completed for Doug by spring??? Anyone have any insights?? Doug?? DV???

Cobra Ed, etc.,
As far as I know of the 15th is the target date. I have boxes and boxes of parts, all of which aren't opened yet. Once Rick gets the car/parts that he has to me, I will be able to do a much better inventory of what is needed/wanted.

I have a 28 yr old Ford Master Tech. to assemble the motor and wire Doug's car. (I can wire but why when you have a real pro waiting in the wings?) He is also ready to assemble the motor but would like some help from some of the FE guys around here. He knows there are tricks to that trade and he is a little young to know them. (At least he admits to his limitations!

)

Once I get the car here, I will lay out all the parts that have come in so we can all assess the goddies.

Done by Spring? It had better be !

I sent $50 to "the cause". Hope it helps.

CobraEd,
I had to have Doug get into the fund for a week long rental of an enclosed trailer. Feel like crap about that, but I'm a bit short these days. As far as I know of Rick has the motor and I will bring it up with the car and Doug's parts.(I was hoping to keep it until the Finished Cobra was ready to go back to Rick (?) but, the guy needs his trailer this winter.

)

From my point no other funds have been used here!

I know there are more to come; heads, gaskets, pulley's, oil cooler(?), (lines?)

??????

I know Doug is much more appreciative of all donations than can be typed! But be careful he might overwhelm you with "Thank You's!"

Ed, not clear on the need for the trailer if the car is not there. Is it for you to go get the car or for storage at your place?

Thanks
Ed

Jeez, Ed! Like you haven't already done way way more than anyone could ever possibly dream of? If it wasn't for you and the incredible guys on this site I would never see this car finished and never have a chance to drive it. You guys have all been incredible and I can never thank each and every one of you enough.

I still need to get some heads, that's for sure. Gasket kit I have, pulleys I'll need to buy along with alternator brackets, oil cooler I have, lines I think someone said they had and were going to send. If not I need to buy them to.

I have to tell you, if I had three wishes I think one of them would to be more articulate so that I could truly tell each and every one of you just how thankful I am and how overwhelmed I am by the generosity of this amazing group. If I were to say thank you a million times (and I will try to do so!)

, it would be far too few to express my gratitude to all of you.
