Oops, sorry for missing your question.  The car was not an ERA, SPF, CSX and I'm pretty sure it wasn't an FFR -- it was one of the "others." It flew off at normal highway speeds and he stopped and retrieved it. Since then there have been a couple of threads on here that came to the conclusion that different breeds of Cobra produce different air flows on the hoods -- some guys report no high speed problems at all with the hood unlatched. |

Chas - I know the top may not be a real useful feature down the road. As you have probably figured out, I like working on old cars and mastering their disassembly and reassembly. I do like driving my old cars but honestly, even here in Arkansas the roads are getting so crowded with idiot drivers that it's pretty stressful. The top is just one more thing that I can work on and see if I can manage to complete.

I knew that Dan. And that's great.
For me, the joy was 50% working (building and better performance stuff), 50% driving. But when driving, I got 100% of its envelop much of the time.
It really does talk to you when you get a rhythm going.

Well Dan, I'm here to tell you that, yes, you can have it both ways. You can fly up and down the roads, terrorize pedestrians, and flaunt our nation's traffic laws. Or, you can drive her to the track and run her there -- and, either way, still have a top in your trunk. Yep, just pull over, maybe under a covered overpass, and put that top up. Then, just crank up the heater and you'll be snug as a bug in a rug. Stop off at the Geezer Car Show and blow them out of their wheelchairs. What's not to like?  |

My brother has suggested some changes for my car. He's not exactly a purist. What do you think?

Perhaps his real motivation is to make the car look worse so that he feels better about not having it for himself. |
