Chas-
Points taken and yes I do appreciate and take the advice. I know exactly what I'm getting myself into, as I've been in a Pontiac racing family for years. They are allowing me to do a Ford build only because it is a Cobra. I don't have any delusions regarding the loud, smelling of gas, feeling every bump, I'm about to crap my pants type of experience these cars are about.
Funny thing is my wife could care less about a roll bar on her side, but the seat heaters are becoming a sticking point. Sort of a "I'm letting you do this, so at least give me one thing I want" type of thing. I know that she'll want them for anything below 65F(yes we have thin blood after living in FL for 5 years). I'll probably use them as well at 65F deg. Even if we never use them, I'd rather put them in when it is easier then not getting them and wishing they were there. Even so, I still might delete them just because somewhere in the back of my head I just think - "these are wrong". Oh well
I definitely read through your post regarding engine temps and when I get to driving the car in cooler temps I'll watch the dash and garage it if it is not getting up to temp. I agree, the car is more important than the temp of my rear end, in the end. pun intended. Enough of the heaters though.
I've decided to go against the glovebox because the comp cars didn't have them and I actually like the look more without them. I may regret that decision in the end, but we'll see.
