Light at the end of the tunnel...
Peter P. told me on Tuesday that my car may be ready for road test by the end of August, so stay tuned for more frequent posts.
Jack and Peter did a magnificent job on the dash. We are going to add a battery cutoff switch to the right of the aluminum switchplate:
I have also contracted with Jim Inglese to tear down the Webers provided by his former company and rebuild them to his specs as well as replace the updated manifold with the original "Cobra" dual outlet manifold. He is also going to use period fuel lines and fittings. Should look just like an original when done.

Good question. He actually said "In four weeks", so I think it is safe to assume 2010. But you never know... |

It's been a long build, and I know you're anxious, but let them keep it until they're ready to send it home to you.  |

Jeffy:
Be aware of the difficulty of getting heat into your motor with the "two intake" Weber setup. I have put a thermostat in line and the car still will not warm up on the open road. Do speak to Jim when you have him do your Weber setup. I would be interested in hearing his advice.

Thanks, I'll press him on this. He sounded very confident that putting a thermostat in one of the lines solves the problem.
