Operation Comfort '09

[mtpockets]

OC has ample room to store motors, cars, parts etc. Three very large building dedicated to "Automotivation". They can work on the LSC, motors and other projects at the same time. I think as long as a detailed list of parts accompanies the donations they'll store them and put them to good use, either on this build or the next. This is really gaining steam and excitement. It's all the buzz at BAMC. Keep spreading the word, TV, Radio, magazines, newspapers etc. More publicity is needed as well as the most important, $$$$. Times are tough right now and no donation is too small. My daughters school is having a fund raising event for the soldiers.

Again, thanks in advance for everyones help with this. God Bless.

Cobra Community – Operation Comfort Cobra Build #1 update

We have committed and have started ordering key components – it is on!

Donations of parts have started off well. We want all to realize we are making some choices, however all donated parts are of immense value to the effort, even if a duplicate, so great appreciation to all.

Quick status of a few specific items

Motor - We in fact have the great “problem” of selecting a motor. We have had multiple partial/nearly complete motors donated, and have settled on a 351 to design around for multiple reasons. To be clear – the additional motors will be supplied to OC for other projects, and or possible use on Cobra Build #2.

Transmission – Working a current T5 donation, any additional donations please let us know ASAP so we can optimize our plan

Rolling stock – Rims, we have a donate set, but looking for Tires, again multiples have value to OC so don’t hold back.

Misc kit parts – Collecting many kit components, and multiples are valued and value donated. More definitely welcome!

Thank you all for your support for this worthy cause!

Brian:
Thanks very much for the update. What size tires are we looking for? We have some folks asking what they can add to the project in addition to funding.

I know Tony and Kelly here in Houston have told you but let me add my thanks for your support. I spoke with Janis last night and the guys are really excited about this. God bless you.

PS: Anyone headed to the Texans v 49ers this weekend will see some of the soldiers from BAMC. They have been invited to opening ceremonies at the game by the USO.

Here are the ideal tire sizes for the wheels that have been donated. (which are very cool if I may add) I have the same wheels on my personal Cobra.

265/40/17 Fronts

Thanks,

Take the tires off the list. Tony and I are donating the tires. I'm going on Tire Rack this weekend, ordering them and having them drop shipped direct to LSC.

Sounds great! Thank you.

Just learned that the front wheels were narrowed slightly from stock so I have revised the front tire sizes:
