Ron, the next meeting at Hardees will be Sat. 1/7/12 at 8:30 am assuming good weather. If you'll PM me your email address I' ll have you put you on the distribution list.
Regards, Sam |
Your car looks great, Ron! Let us know if you're planning on going to Hardees for the Triangle Cobra get-together.
Are you going to put filters on your Webers? |
I plan to be there on 1/7
I only live a few miles from there and definitely plan on attending.

100 mile report
So 100 miles on the car...
Loud (wow, those are poor excuses for mufflers) Thirsty (think sailor in a bar on armed forces appreciation day) Confused (can't find the high beams and no idea what 1/2 the switches do) 1964 brakes (no power assist, too big of a master cylinder) So, more freaking fun than the law ought to allow!!!! Crazy fast, crazy raw, crazy fun... Best, Ron |

Mufflers? You got mufflers? We didn't send no steenkin' mufflers! Thirsty? Gee, eight barrels of Webers couldn't possibly have any effect on that, could they? ;) Half the switches don't do anything so just use the ones that make stuff blink, flash or whirr! Stairmaster? Heck no, we got a brake pedal! Remember this is from the age of Iron when men were men and sheep were scared......... Drive it in good health and have fun. Your new blank dash panel is on order...... and the high beam switch is on the backside of the turn signal stalk. Squeeze it like you love it. Did you never drive a 60's VW beetle? 'Cause that's what the switch is from. |
Quick photos / video of picking the car up at Olthoff's.

You trailered it back to Raleigh from Mt. Ulla?
|
Not quite. I trailered it to my father's (15 miles) then drove it home.

Congratulations on such a special car. A question I have is, where is the pickup point that delivers water to the aluminum tank that sits in front of the motor?
Regards. |

The size is 225 on the front and 275 on the rear. The 295s on the back rub and just look wrong. Best, Ron |
Great Combination and Color!!
Ron,
Do you know the color you ordered? It does not look like a standard color, and it really looks great in every photo. Rich |

Real, live color chips are the only safe way to judge a color. |

I can't really judge the accuracy of the color, but everyone comments (loves) on it. I did have a guy who said he was on the race crew for some FIA cars in the 60s (have no idea if he was truthful or not) who complimented me on painting it "the original color".
To be totally honest, everyone loves the 289 body style, people really like the color, but the webers make grown men drool and stammer. Best, Ron |
