Hector,
Yes it's a Keith Craft all aluminum 496 FE. Has a big solid roller, stage 3 aluminum heads, T&D shaft mount rockers and lots of other goodies. You can go to the Texas Forum on Clubcobra and watch for the March Spring Meet in San Marcos, Texas just south of Austin. We have been doing this meet 12 or 13 years now and started in Austin with 17 cars the first year. Their is a track event on Friday for those interest to stretch their legs and lots of Hill country cruise events, parking lot gatherings and banquet Saturday night. I think last year they had 110 plus Cobras show up.....Fun Time!

Nick! My car has just over 300 miles in 5 weeks... I drive the sucker. The thing is, I would not drive it 500 miles away without a back up. And where do I park it overnight? Those are logistics I am not familiar with...

Hey Hector that's great. Do a little reading on here for ideas regarding security and make sure the insurance coverage is good. Time to set it up with a tonneau at least so it can be left somewhere without being open.

Have to agree with Hector on a trailer when you are going miles away from home and over night. The Texas spring meet does have security in the parking lot during the whole event (24/7) but the weather is always something you can not predict and I prefer to have the car put away during any bad weather or evenings. I've had a trailer in the past, borrowed and rented also many years but I'm looking for a 20 ft enclosed myself and plan to attend more events in the coming years.............

I agree with you guys. I'm just busting on Hector, he knows I love him. I would have to have at least a top for "ironman" rides like that, trailer even better. I'm trying to avoid any more melanomas.

Nick you know the feeling is mutual. Im not sold on a tonneau, because of all the drilling involved. Plus my first available money will go to your race screen  (more drilling  )
Hey guys, I noted somewhere else here on CC that i am looking for an 18-20 ft enclosed trailer. If you hear something, let me know.
Cheerrs!

One easy way to go to is a snapless tonneau. No drilling, less expensive, easy to install. The only difference is that you can't drive with it. Otherwise, it's easier all around. Costs a bit over $200.
Phil and Kay Deal make them. You can tell them to use the same pattern they did for my car.

Not necessarily. They sent me your pattern and it had to be modified to fit my car. They're all a little different. |

Interesting. Maybe you're pickier than me or maybe that's due to small differences with HST and Hitech built cars.

Hector agreed it's very difficult shooting holes in such a beautiful body, I thought you'd started down that slippery slope with the roll bar. Figure out your must haves and we'll make a plan.

Doug, thank you. I contacted Phil and Kay, and we are working on my tonneau. BTW I saw a pic of yours on your car, and it looks great.

Great shot. Is your AP ( A-Production ) decal static cling or adhesive?? The number 13 looks like a 16" static cling like mine.
