Hi Jeff...your car is lookin good. Back in the day the front hubs were
"covered" with red rubber balls which were just jammed in. I've been
looking for those simple balls for some time and no luck so far. Back in
the 60s they were ten cents at the local 5 and 10 cent store. Now even
Toys are Us, which is just crammed with junk doesn't even carry a simple
red rubber ball! What's the world coming to?

1985 CCX 01-22-2017 01:34 PM

You are correct the wife is happy. Was happy I had it in storage to use!
Cannot use rubber balls as the hub center comes to the end.
Guess if you cut a ball in half and hollowed out maybe. These caps < 10 bucks......

1985 CCX 01-22-2017 01:35 PM

Planned
New tach, one that works wo sender
Fuel gauge
Mechanical oil psi
Oil change
Ready for Spring.

Now just a hard top and you have the perfect Dragon Snake replica. And yes I don't even have a Cobra!

HealeyRick 01-23-2017 07:21 AM

Looks good, Jeff. Inside of the garage looks pretty sweet, too.
