Very nice car, excellent job of removing side pipes and roll bar. Nice write up of the car's history, though tey left out the best part. Read the history in the registry from 97. I knew the owner Doug Mc. when he owned it in Detroit, and funny thing, I was the Ft. Laud cop mentioned in the registry. The care was red, sitting in a showroom on Dixie Hwy in Pompano Bc. Fl, he reall rough shape, lousy paint, and dents all over.
It was then purchased by a couple of guys in Ft. Laud, I watched them restore it over several months, painting the car black, I wasn't sure they were on the up and up either. I lost interest, to busy with CSX 3183 and kids and family, next I saw ir was when I visted Kirkham before they started with the Poles.
Car has a storied back story that's for sure.

So you do not like the BFGs? The original owner put Dunlops on mine, and I was thinking of an alternative.
What non-bias ply tire would you have put on CSX3104? Avons?
Thanks for the suggestions. The previous owner said this is the car that "inspired" him several years ago to build my car....he added a few of his personal preferences to my ERA though.

Dan good spot on the tailpipes, I saw the same thing. I like a slash cut to the end of them, I think it makes the world of difference. It really is a thing of beauty in its present configuration I think.

To 427 Street: I think you make an important point by admitting that your's was a knee jerk response to Ned's comment. I believe that such knee-jerk responses are the cause of most of the friction generated on forums such as this. As I first read Ned's response my thought was of how nicely he constructed his statement and how carefully he chose his words in order to not be offensive (as he as learned from over 40 years of dealing with Cobra owners, some of whom can be less than, shall we say, diplomatic when they state their feelings). Therefore, you can imagine my surprise when I saw your response.
I, too, have made such hasty comments on this forum and regretted making them later; many make such errors of judgment and, provided we fess up to our overzealous behavior, as you done, then we all learn from it and can go back to enjoying our hobby, which is why we are here in the first place.
You will not find a finer, more reputable person than Ned, in my opinion. Anyone that disagrees with that assessment should perhaps have their agenda very closely examined.
See, I have just provided you an example of me saying something that will get me in trouble and I will regret it later after I am threatened with lawsuits, etc, even though I didn't mention anyone by name.
I am already sorry.

^^^Well written Jim...through some PMs, I 'spoke' with Ned and we sat around with a peace pipe. After reading his PMs and his secondary response, things are not misconstrued.
Now, let's get back on topic of how my car was fashioned after CSX3104!

Ned, That was the statement that I thought would get me in trouble...
Good thing CSX 2401 is a convertible or your head wouldn't fit! I am confident that we can shrink that puppy before the tour!
