Great photos ... post a few more once you have a chance to really go over the car. It will be interesting to see what, if any, modifications you make to 2031 as time goes by.
You Cobra buddies are very happy for you !

Modifications planned right now:
Oil Cooler for track use (thermostatically controlled unit)
Switch from Halon to Coldfire for fire suppression system (Halon in an open car like the Cobra is shown to be ineffective)
Might go with a street dash layout (wife's only complaint, a lack of a glove box)
Otherwise, the car is about as perfect as I could hope for.

Forgot to mention, the car feels right at home since we got caught out in a small thunder storm on the way back from our evening ride last night   It told me it was almost like never leaving Washington state

An local ERA gathering in the spring would be great. I am all for it.
Congrats on the car, it looks sweet.

Looks sweet. I've always secretly admired this car. Always loved the thought of a DOHC in an FIA

Nice ERA! Did your mouth hurt from all the smiles and grins? Take good care of her.

Should we use the May21 Carlisle date for the Spring Meet-up??
Bill:
Maybe we could work together on something regarding the Dash. I have the drop-center street dash with the glove box and have aspirations of going to the comp dash. Thoughts?
