KGS365 - Do you know the source of the dipstick and tube on your car? KC installed one on mine that hugs the block behind the alternator. Its really tight there with the expansion tank, alternator and oil cap. I think one like you have would work better.



Thanks

Dan

Kevin,

It really looks fantastic. That engine is gorgeous!! I can't believe it came out of a dump truck!!

I hope it is done soon.

Kevin,

Looks real good! I love the combination and how it is coming out, particularly that mill! I'm still waiting on my Kirkham, but should only be "two more weeks".

Hi guy.. I was at ERA today and your car looks great. You got the color right and I have the same side pipes. Mine's in there with Doug trying to chase the electrical gremlins out of it and a couple of other small things. I noticed plates on the car.. you have it registered already or just temps. I live about 10 minutes away from ERA so anything I can do to help, please let me know.
Looking for good weather and cheap fuel!!!

Well it's about time. They always speed up a bit when the Holidays are just around the corner.... Congrats. Remember to take it really slow for the first 500 miles or so.

Kevin,

Congratulations !!!

Wow ... what a beautiful Cobra ... the wizards at New Britain have done it again! Well worth the wait to get exactly what you want, I'll bet it drives as good as it looks.

I would guess you are hoping for a mild winter ?

- Tim
