Cobra Trailer
Finally making some progress on my trailer. After spending a small fortune getting "fake" knock-offs, I ended up using real ones. This was a spare pair of "rears" I had tried to put on the front of my car, but they just wouldn't go (and I had already spent $$$ having them polished and painted).

Another Cobra Club pit stop. The maroon 289 belonged to Ed Rosenblum, and had Dragonsnake knock off alloy wheels, dual quads, etc. The paint was just a little rough. The owner of the acqua 289 was Bob Kraus.

Three V8s, one V12
Our collection at its insane max: Cobra, Shelby, Tiger and Ferrrari (still with Italian plates), all in a one bath starter house. We had our priorities right!

New Crank Pully
I had a crank pully custom made out of aluminium, the original pully had too many un-needed bits. I also wanted the power steering pump rpm reduced, so I had a smaller pully machined, this should also reduce some load on the engine

Plastic Valve Covers
Here are two sets of plastic COBRA valve covers I made in the 70's. Thought the clear ones would really be cool. To really get the detail, I would have had to drill small air holes in them to get the vacuum machine to work well - I wasn't willing to do that.

Brake relocation
Rear brake relocation was needed to allow clearance between the coilovers and the calipers. Re-drilled calliper mount bracket holes so the caliper sits about 40 degrees foward from original position. Also had to swap Left & Right brake assemblys to opposite sides, so the hand brake cable now will run on top of the axle & still be accuated by a foward movement. I wonder if others have thought of this solution?

Assembling the oil cooler
To fit the oil cooler, I had to remove the rivets from one half and reinstall the bottom shroud after the cooler was in place.
