Glen thanks.
It's always part of conversation for all that visit.

xb-60 12-10-2015 02:52 AM

I feel the need to say....very tidy too.
One day, before too long....I'll be posting pictures of AP2289 in it's single-car garage, and it won't be a pretty sight. The garage, that is.
Incidentally, that template of your dashboard for Goldie that you sent me ....umm...a number of years ago, will soon be put to good use on a RHD Cobra.

Cheers,
Glen

Things are moving right along. Nice Christmas present from Cobra Automotive. They do really nice work. What is the anticipated HP and Torque?

Accumulating 'stuff' nicely there Jeff. Do you have a T10 sidelined for rebuild?

Cheers,
Glen

1985 CCX 12-21-2015 03:58 PM

This one will be stock as want a street car type smooth versus Weber experience.
Guesstimating 275hp but we will see once assembly and set up is complete.

1985 CCX 12-21-2015 03:59 PM

T10 will also be via Cobra Automotive.
Narrow case.,,,,,,

My brother lives in Concord, NH and I plan on stopping by to see him sometime this spring. Would b nice to stop by and see your build. I will let you know when I will be in the area to see if we can coordinate things.

1985 CCX 12-21-2015 04:26 PM

Absolutely.
Try to coordinate around a second Saturday as we do a monthly club breakfast in Concord. Most months.
