Heads
CC'ing the heads just to get an idea of where I stand compression-wise. Heads are C6AE-R's. The block and heads will soon be going to the machine shop.

Not too keen on the valet service idea!

Have you ever considered letting your kids drive your Cobra?
Perhaps it's not such a good idea.

The "Big Problem"
Here is the issue. CSX4000 body trying to fit down on an original style chassis. Anyone got an idea how to get it to fit? It is catching here. Maybe I should cut the tube off.

Cobra_Dash_with_new_Glove_Box_Small_
Originally, I had the glove box lid closing precisely into the glove box opening. It just didn't look right so the hinges were re-designed and a new larger lid manufactured to fit over the glove box opening instead of into it. My feelings are that this looks far neater. I am happy with the result. Thanks for the idea Phil.

Arntz tranny tunnel
Shown here is the removable section of the tranny tunnel. With the big engine setback in all the Arntz / Butler cars, you can remove the transmission while seated if you desire. Only a few very late Butlers had this and all Arntz Type 4 cars. I have no idea what the many cutouts are for  Also shown are the two triangulation tubes that connect the center of the cowl hoop to the 2 main frame rails for increased rigidity. The 3rd leg of the roll bar (not shown) also attaches to the same point on the passenger side frame rail. This is Arntz Type 4 only as well.

ERA 289 FIA and CSX 2490
Pulled my ERA 289 FIA up next to Tom Cotter's 289 slab side to get an idea what the "sterrt" vs. "comp" body style variations are.

Skylight and garage fan
What seemed like a great idea at the time, that didn't quite work out - a ceiling fan to circulate air, and a roof skylight to let in natural light. The fan restricted the height I could raise the lift - I eventually deleted it. The skylight (brightest rectangle to the right) attracts bugs who overheat and die, dropping onto the cars. And, even though the contractor ASSURED me, "these new skylights won't leak" - it does in a heavy rain. So for Winter storage, I have to put a plastic shower curtain over the car cover so the water dripping down will run off and not soak the car cover.

Original Cobra From My Home Town
A Cobra comes home: Now worth $1 million, rare car returns to Lincoln.The last time this car was in Lincoln, its owner had just finished grad school and had no idea it could make him a millionaire.
Steve Woehrle paid $5,300 for the second-hand Shelby Cobra from an O Street corner car dealer in 1973, and now he was shifting it into drive and running north out of town, first to a teaching gig in South Dakota and then to a long-term tenure in Minnesota.
Woehrle and his Cobra are returning to Lincoln next weekend, but the retired professor won’t be behind the wheel. Instead, the car he bought 45 years ago will arrive by truck and trailer, with a security detail and an estimated value of more than $1 million.
College student bought this 1965 AC Shelby Cobra in Lincoln for $5,300 in 1975. Today, it has estimated value of more than $1 million. The car is on display at Okoboji Classic Cars but will return to Lincoln July 13-15 during the Mustang Club of America’s national show outside Pinnacle Bank Arena.
