Cobra Completion Fundraiser for 767Jockey

[Double Venom]

I had another long and rather disturbing phone call from Doug this afternoon. As if this guy doesn’t have enough problems, his Cobra wont be finished until early Spring of 2012. (For your information Doug has run into another snag in his recovery, he will be spending the next few (?) weeks in the hospital due to some complications from the radiation treatments.)

Apparently I have waited far to long to post something about “767Jockey’s” car.
For those that don’t know, I DO have the car, hundreds of donated parts to Dougs car, still in their original shipping boxes. His car has sat in my garage covered up since it arrived here. There are two reasons for this; Doug is still trying to get very expensive parts for his motor, transmission, E-brake etc.

His car IS painted and approximately 1/3rd assembled. With Doug’s understanding, knowing I am now working alone, his car has to come after I finish the Paying Customers cars that were in front of his. He understands completely. [edit]

I’m sure IF Doug would have spent his donated funds foolishly or haphazardly I would have most of the parts to actually get started to head for the finish line!

For THOSE that do NOT know, Doug does not have control of the donated monies! His wish right from the beginning was that a Third party take control of the funds so NO ONE would assume any improprieties on either the donated parts or the monies.

[edit]

If ANYONE has questions about Doug’s Cobra, other than personal ones, please feel free to write me: DV4477@Gmail.com, Ed Combs-4905 Wayne Rd., Pentwater, Mi. 49449, or simply call me-7 days a week @ 231-869-4608.

We ARE Family and We WILL take care of our own!

thanks for the update, I have been following the original tread with great anticipation
Is it possible to get a list of what parts are still needed? Perhaps with the help of the forum members it would be possible to locate necessary items quicker? Last I read there was a search for Edelbrock heads, there are almost always a couple of sets on Epay. Probably also need a set of Erson rocker arms, better valve springs etc
Is there need for more donations? If so it should be posted. Even in this pathetic crappy economy, it should be possible to get enough funds to finally finish Dougs car
hang in there Doug

Post pictures along with the list of parts you still need. I would love to see the cars progress.

I have spoken to Doug and offered to send him a set of cast iron 390 heads for him to use. I have approx 10 sets of heads and I'll look to see which heads are the best in terms of performance and verify with my friends widow to verify I can donate them to this cause. They will most likely need valves, springs and guides, but will be rebuildable. I know I have 2 sets of 352 hipo heads, a few sets of 390 hipo and PI heads and who knows what else. I will advise soon on what I have and can have donated to this cause.
